Purpose
At BPS, our focus is on the power of "one." This involves focusing on how each student grows and learns in a way that is right for them. This also means making the educational journey not just personal, but personalized. Our school will connect teachers, administrators, students, and the home, so we can give the time, care, and attention that every student deserves. We will all work together to reshape how students learn, thrive, and succeed. From that nervous first day of kindergarten to the buzz of planning for college or a career and beyond, we are here for that “one student, one dream, one future,” focus!
BPS emphasizes project-based learning through PLTW Launch in grades K-5, Gateway to Technology in grades 6-8, and PLTW Career Pathways in grades 9-12. With an emphasis on authentic, project-based learning, our students apply their knowledge and skills to tackle real world problems which prepares them to compete in an ever-changing global society.
