High School at BVP
Our High School Model – grades 9-12
BVP High School is proud to have been named the #6 high school in Rhode Island by U.S. News & World Report.
At BVP High School, we take the foundation laid for academic success in elementary and middle school to the next level by providing an innovative, personalized approach focused on both academic knowledge as well as the individual habits and skills every scholar will need to be prepared for the world beyond high school.
Our high school scholars’ academic experience is driven by the Personalized Learning Model – a structure for learning designed to provide an individualized experience. It provides scholars with both the time they need to be academically successful as well as the support they need to get there.
At BVP, we implement personalized learning with the use of one-to-one ChromeBooks assigned to every scholar, a self-paced personalized learning platform, and a team of dedicated teachers and staff who provide the content expertise and supportive environment necessary for success in this rigorous program.

Advanced Course Network
Former governor Gina Raimondo, the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE), and stakeholders across our state created the Advanced Course Network as a way to better prepare students throughout Rhode Island for success. BVP’s participation provides our scholars with access to a catalog of more than 50 college and career preparatory courses offered by Rhode Island colleges and universities, community-based organizations, and other school districts.
By taking advantage of dual enrollment or advanced placement courses offered, our scholars will be able to earn college credits while attending high school and reduce the time it takes to earn a college degree.
CCRI Running Start Program
BVP participates in Running Start, a dual enrollment program for high school seniors who have demonstrated the academic achievement and maturity necessary to enroll in college courses during their senior year of high school.
By taking advantage of dual enrollment or advanced placement courses offered, our scholars will be able to earn college credits while attending high school and reduce the time it takes to earn a college degree.
All About Time
Time is not a commodity at BVP; time is golden. We have a longer day, a longer year, and we tap into Saturdays and school breaks.
There’s no time to waste, and that is perhaps one of our most deeply held beliefs.

High school scholars observe a rotating schedule of eight classes (six per day), yet, even with all this time, it isn’t enough.
We want to spend more time analyzing text at deeper levels, supporting writers to better articulate their ideas, offering opportunities to invent new pathways to solving mathematical problems, exploring our scientific experiments further.
We believe in capitalizing on every single moment with scholars and extending the learning when scholars are not with us. That’s where homework comes in. We have big goals for our scholars, and the bar is high in order for our scholars to compete in today’s global economy. Knowing that, we can’t stop the learning when the school bell rings.
