Bosque School

We love Bosque! My daughter has been attending since middle school, and has received a wonderful education. The school environment is inclusive, welcoming, and supportive, and has been instrumental in helping my daughter grow academically, athletically, and socially. I have been very happy with the faculty and staff at the school over the years as well, and my daughter loves attending. I can't imagine sending her anywhere else.

I’ve only been here for about three months and I love it so much! The teachers are amazing and the campus is beautiful! Better yet, they have so many fun side activities that it’s hard to count them all!

School's trespassing signs are confusing. They are right next to a public trail. The area should be fenced off if they don't want people tresspassing onto the school.

I'm in 7th grade and I am totally in love with this incredible school its given me an incredible learning experience and it's not done yet! my favorite part of bosque is strings and the rest of the performing arts. if you're into band, choir, strings, or drama, this is the school for you!

I have been going to Bosque School for 5 years and I absolutely love the community. I am extremely grateful that I am privileged enough to go to a school that is accepting, welcoming, academic and socially aware. I believe that the school challenges its students in many aspects and also allows a personal approach that is often lost or disregarded in education. At this school students are encouraged to voice their opinions and if they can justify their opinions well enough they can change the school and make a difference in the community. I, as a student, wont profess to know the actions of the administrators or the justifications behind the actions of the administrators but from my experience with the schools administration they are always open to hearing your opinions and they have been very kind to me. I also disagree with the notion that the school focuses more on sexuality and gender isues more than education: Firstly, I don't believe that education and gender and sexuality issues are mutually exclusive and I also know that if you do not wish to be a part of the gender, sexuality and other social topic discussions all you have to do is stay away from the GSA, SLED and Coffee house meetings. The school offers these meetings as safe spaces for people who identify as a part of the LGBTQ community, their allies or those who are questioning the way they identify. I believe it is amazing that our school offers these communities so those who identify as a part of the LGBTQ community can feel like they belong and can be accepted within the community and can be surrounded by those with empathy and understanding. These communities are completely optional and separate from the core classes and typical highschool education you receive. I am extremely surprised by the personal attacks toward Dr.Reid in one of the other reviews of the school. Why I don't believe that a school or the academics of the school can be judged by the actions of a single teacher I do feel obligated to defend one of my favorite teachers, Dr.Reid. This year instead of learning medevil history we are focusing on history starting during the medevil period and looking at it as a study of humanities instead of just learning historical facts which we would probably forget in a year. I love this approach to history and it quickly became one of my favorite classes. Most people do not like the class for various reasons and at times I find the class frustrating because this approach is much different than anything else I've experienced. However, at the end of each project after struggling with it or trying to understand it I realize how much I have learned and am extremely happy that I was put through that experience. The accusations made by one of my colleagues that she arrives to class hungover are completely false. The grading on our essay did have a lack of diversity in the grading but there have been no other situations where this has happened and I don't believe that we should judge her for one mistake she made. I have learned an incredible amount from her class and enjoy engaging in intellectual conversations about the concepts behind mainstream culture that most would set aside as simple. I enjoy the way she finds a complexity of meaning in everything and enjoy exploring that complexity with her. Lastly, in my defense of her, If a taste for Kumbucha is a terrible things which categorizes her as a terrible person than I too am a terrible person with that same taste for the healthy probiotic drink. In conclusion, this school is an incredible school whose style of education has worked very well for me. I always feel as if my opinion matters and is respected and I feel confident in speaking up if I don't agree with something. I, having struggled with questions of sexuality, am extremely grateful to go to a school which has these safe spaces for me to go to and participate in discussions or as questions. I would highly recommend this school for everyone interested in a unique approach to education and anyone who wants an accepting environment.
