All the humanities teachers were very good, Mr. Knox leaving has made me sad among many other teachers. I have noticed a significant decline in administration from 6th grade to now, where I'm a junior. I don't really like the new head of school or some of the teachers but overall my experience has been okay.

Our children received a wonderful education at Bosque School. Along with the amazing education, they were allowed many opportunities to explore activities outside the classroom, including sports, science and student government. The combination of education and activities prepared them for college and beyond.

My son started as Bosque this fall in 9th grade. It has been a wonderful experience. His classes are engaging, his teachers challenge him intellectually but also are available for any assistance that he might need, and the music and drama programs are fabulous. The school administration could not be...
