Castle View high school in Colorado supports real-world, student-centered, project-based learning, just like Big Picture School! Principal Calhoun described it as flipping the standard educational model that starts by telling students what they need to know. As an example, he pointed to a teen who loves to skateboard. Most schools consider that a hobby engaged in outside the school. Under the program, it could instead become the centerpiece of a students curriculum, a springboard for the study of physics, science and math.
