The Metropolitan Career and Technical Center, commonly referred to as "The Met," is a public magnet school located in Providence, Rhode Island. Established with a focus on personalized, student-centered learning, the school is well-known for its innovative "Big Picture Learning" model. Rather than relying on traditional classroom lectures and standardized testing, The Met emphasizes real-world experience, requiring students to complete off-site internships as a core component of their graduation requirements.

The school is designed to foster professional growth, community connection, and academic inquiry through individual learning plans tailored to each student’s specific interests and career goals. By integrating rigorous project-based learning with professional mentorship, the Metropolitan Career and Technical Center aims to prepare students for both higher education and the modern workforce, encouraging them to take an active role in their own educational journey within the Providence community.
