Bellevue is opening a new choice school in September of 2011. The school is especially designed to serve students who may feel lost in a large comprehensive secondary school, need flexibility to learn at their own pace, or learn best in hands-on projects outside the classroom. The new school will be called the Bellevue Big Picture School and will open to grades 6 and 9. The school will expand to grades 6 through 12 by Fall 2014. Modeled after other successful ‘Big Picture’ schools across the country, the new school will feature a small, personalized environment, project-based college preparatory curriculum, technology integration, and college/career readiness through local partnerships. The school will be located on the former Robinswood campus at 14844 SE 22nd Street, Bellevue WA 98007 and is a school of choice for students in the district.
