Academic Overview

Bosque School’s many academic and extracurricular programs contribute to excellence through SCHOLARSHIP, COMMUNITY AND INTEGRITY. Although our academic curriculum is the backbone of the Bosque education, we feel strongly that education is more than just the exchange of knowledge and ideas within the classroom. Understanding is gained by the actual experiences that take place on the stage, in the bosque, on the playing fields, in the hallways, and through service learning opportunities. Exploring Bosque online is just the beginning to understanding what a Bosque School education is all about.

The best educational environment is one that encourages and supports a lifelong love of learning, self-esteem, and respect for the community and the world in which we live. Students need a rich variety of academic and experiential activities to channel their energies in the most positive and constructive ways. One of our main functions as a school is to help students become more open to future growth. They must be able to continue their intellectual growth and development, to represent their experiences through language and other appropriate symbols, to form guiding and lasting values, to become knowledgeable about themselves, and to develop social and interpersonal skills. The curriculum at Bosque School fosters this philosophy.
