BTBE THE BEGINNING
Where it all began...
In 2016 BTBE was opened as a learning centre in a small 4 bedroom home in Warrens.
We started with 4 full time students and that grew to 8 by the time we were ready to leave the space in 2018.
At the time we had a large tutoring business with over 30 families.
In 2018 Gaby decided it was time to open a school and traveled to the U.S. to explore Big Picture Learning and how she could open her own BPL school.
Following that trip, she registered and opened BTBE as an official school on PEG Farm, with no outside funding or support.

In September 2018 we opened our doors to students ages 7-18 with 8 students. We grew throughout the year and doubled in size by our second year.
Through corporate donations, we were able to offer 5 students scholarships to BTBE that year.
In September of 2020 the Infant Department was opened. The school had 40 students registered and we were growing!
The C- word came and threw everything off, but we continued to grow and, through all of the instability, now have a thriving Big Picture Learning school that continues to grow.
