Bosque School Core Values 
 

• Bosque School is a student-centered community. The question of what is best for students is at the heart of what we do and is the guiding principle in our decisions. 

• Bosque School offers a dedicated and caring faculty, small classes and an education that recognizes each student as an individual.

• Bosque School seeks students who can meet the academic challenges of our curriculum and who will contribute positively to the quality of life at the school.

• We seek to make learning a lifetime passion. We hope that our students will become readers who love the beauty of the written word or thinkers who are excited by understanding a complicated scientific process – not simply students who know the correct answer on an exam.

• We balance traditional academic requirements with courses in the arts, technology, community service and physical education. 

• We respect our teachers and encourage excellence in the classroom. We offer competitive salaries, benefits and professional development  opportunities in order to attract and retain outstanding teachers.

• Bosque School’s faculty members serve as mentors and role models to the students, both within the classroom and beyond.

• Bosque’s faculty, administration, and staff, regardless of department or office, must be committed to the education of young people.

• We believe that a strong evaluation process and a continual growth model are essential to ensure that teachers, administrators and staff members excel. 

• We expect our students to demonstrate age-appropriate, mature behavior. Learning respect, integrity and accountability are as much a part of our curriculum as academic subjects. 

• We are committed to the larger community. Along with the privilege of attending an independent school comes the responsibility to give back. We seek alliances and contacts with our sister schools, both public and private, and we continually seek out ways to contribute to the well-being of Albuquerque.

• We embrace diversity and work hard to create a student body and faculty that reflect the ethnic, cultural and economic diversity of the larger community in which we live.

• As our name promises, we will be ongoing caretakers of the land on which our school lives; we will honor its ancient history by actively participating in the preservation of its future. 

• Our buildings will be designed to complement the land and will provide spaces in which students and teachers can work together, where teachers are visible and available to students during the academic day.

• We will practice prudent financial management. While we look to our constituents and beyond for the funds that will make our dreams a reality, we will endeavor to make our fundraising efforts as responsible and unobtrusive as possible. We will continue to strive for efficiency in our operations, affordability in our pricing, and to provide value to those who invest their time and money in us and, above all, entrust their children’s education to us.

• A strong sense of school community is paramount at Bosque. From the small details of daily school life to large events in the school’s history, every effort is made to maintain the integrity of the school community and the values articulated here.
