"We didn't just complete projects. We left an impact on our mentors...on the underclassmen who watched us. So many younger students look up to our class because we never hesitated to share what we knew. They talked to us freely...because we made ourselves approachable. We became leaders without even trying. Every step forward, you have the opportunity to bring someone else along with you."

Our school is closed in observance of Juneteenth. Today we honor a powerful moment in history and celebrate freedom, resilience, and community.
See you Monday!

Huge congrats to the Class of 2026 from Bellevue Big Picture School! You didn’t just check boxes; you had amazing internships, built real-world skills, tackled genuine challenges, and found your own path. That kind of grit and curiosity is what matters. The world needs people who think differently and care deeply about solving actual problems. We’re proud of you! Bellevue School District
Big Picture Learning Bellevue BP '26 Destinations

The 2025–26 school year has been a powerful journey of real-world learning and growth for our students. This work would not have been possible without the guidance and support of our incredible internship mentors. Your dedication has made a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for the role you play in shaping our students’ success and strengthening our Big Picture community.

The 2025–26 school year highlighted our commitment to preparing students for success beyond the classroom. Through our “leaving to learn” model, students stepped into internships across the Puget Sound region, working with experts and gaining authentic, real-world experience. As a result, our graduates are leaving not only ready for college or careers, but ready to make an impact in their communities. If you or someone you know is interested in mentoring, we invite you to help support and inspire our students.

On June 18, we’ll gather at the SHS Performing Arts Center to celebrate a powerful milestone for our graduates. This ceremony honors not just academic achievement, but the internships, relationships, and real-world experiences that have shaped each student’s journey.
We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2026 with our families, mentors, and community.

The 2025–26 school year has been an incredible journey, with our students completing internships in a wide variety of career pathways. Through these experiences, they explored their interests, developed new skills, and connected with professionals in our community. We are grateful for our mentors and always looking to grow—if you’re interested in making a difference, we’d love for you to join us.

🎓 Celebrating Emily!
Emily’s journey reflects dedication, care, and a commitment to helping others. ✨ She’ll complete the Blossom Nursing Academy, then continue at Seattle University College of Nursing. A powerful path forward.
