Experience the Met School
Experience the flagship public high school of Big Picture Learning, where learners demonstrate their growth through authentic assessments, career-connected learning, and robust advisories to support one student at a time. For more than 30 years, The Met has built this high school around a simple idea: start with the learner, then connect their interests to meaningful work in the world. With mentors and advisors alongside them, young people build a path that is deeply personal and grounded in who they are becoming.
During this visit, you will experience:
-
Internships at local businesses
-
Advisories
-
Exhibitions of learning to present and get feedback
And more!
