The Bosque Learning Center - Bosque School | Private school serving grades 6-12 in ABQ, NM

The Bosque Learning Center offers personalized learning to individuals and small groups — ensuring flexibility and support that allow every student to excel academically.

The Bosque Learning Center (BLC) serves the needs of both Bosque School and non-Bosque School students through tutoring services that help each student reach their full academic potential.

For Bosque School students, engagement with BLC tutors connects students in our learning support program with tutors who communicate directly with classroom teachers and our full-time learning specialist to ensure the most relevant and timely academic support is provided to help students thrive in their classes. Additionally, logistics are minimized for both students and parents (as students don’t have to leave campus for tutoring and can meet with tutors during strategic times in the school day to minimize conflicts with extracurricular and athletic commitments). This allows tutoring to be an enhancement, not a distraction, from the comprehensive Bosque School academic experience.

For non-Bosque school students, the Bosque Learning Center provides the same outstanding tutoring services and academic support to ensure first through twelfth-grade students are able to thrive academically at their home school.

When we didn’t know how to get our elementary-aged daughter the enrichment she needed in a virtual learning environment, the Bosque Learning Center created many creative, hands-on, and challenging opportunities for her.

Elementary School Student Support

Bosque Learning Center tutors can provide support to elementary-aged students seeking individualized instruction in specific academic areas or, more broadly, for support in work organization, time management, and learning strategies. BLC tutors can meet with elementary students on the Bosque School campus or at their elementary school when feasible. Some parents choose to enroll their elementary students in the program before applying for admission to Bosque School to enhance their skills or strengthen their academic foundation. Note: involvement with the BLC does not guarantee admission to Bosque School.

Gifted & Talented Student Enrichment

Tutor specialists (also known as enrichment coaches) are available to work with gifted and twice-exceptional students to supplement their academic instruction and to provide more in-depth learning opportunities. This program is for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Using an inquiry/project-based approach, enrichment coaches work directly with students to support accelerated learning and deepen student engagement. Content-related enrichment is available for these elementary students in most academic areas, including math, science, and literature.

Support for Students with Learning Differences

The BLC’s experienced tutors have proven success working with students with ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and various learning differences and can build skills and confidence with their students, helping support them into competent and confident learners. For those students with significant reading and writing difficulties, BLC has specialist tutors trained in an intensive Orton-Gillingham approach (Wilson Literacy Program). This program is specifically designed for students identified as dyslexic and designed for frequent meetings (up to three times per week).

Learning Pods

The BLC supports independent learning pods in the Albuquerque area for non-Bosque School students. Learning pods are defined as small groups of similarly aged students who meet for instruction and cooperative learning in a home-school setting. Students are primarily in elementary school, and the program is designed to meet the needs of academically engaged students whose parents seek a more intensive yet nurturing learning environment to minimize the isolation associated with home-school settings. Tutors are selected for each pod based on areas of instruction requested by the parents. The pods are flexible and can be designed to meet multiple times a week, from two to five hours a day.

Middle School and Upper School Academic Boot Camps

My 4th-grade son, who is in the 98th percentile for his age in math, has worked with his enrichment coach for over a year. We sought a tutor who would be able to challenge him yet have fun with math. His coach prods, pushes, and laughs with my son; when their weekly session ends, my boy is energized and happy.

FAQs

When are tutoring services available?

The length of each tutoring session is determined in collaboration between the parent/guardian and the tutor. Most sessions run from 40 to 60 minutes, but they can be longer with parent notice and permission. Upper school students will frequently use free periods in their schedules for tutoring sessions, or they can choose to meet before or after school. Tutors typically work with middle school students before or after school. Note: for middle and upper school students participating in athletics, an allowance will be made for arriving late for practices or attending tutoring after practice. Individual tutoring sessions will be rescheduled during any team competitions or games.
The BLC is open during the summer break, and tutors set up a mutually agreed-upon schedule of meetings with each student.

How much does it cost?

Bosque School students - $70 per hour for individual sessions and $55 per hour for groups of two+ students.
Non-Bosque School students - $85 per hour for individual sessions and $70 per hour for groups of two+ students.
Learning Pods: The cost of participating in pods is determined by the number of weekly sessions and the number of students participating. Please contact Clint Montgomery for information.

Once parents commit to participating in the BLC, they must register their child through the registration portal.

Payments are set up on a monthly basis through Bosque School's business office, using the FACTS billing site. Parents are billed for missed sessions only when the tutor does not have a two-hour advanced notice.

Who are the tutors?

Tutors are hired by the Director of the BLC and are considered employees of Bosque School. They submit work history records and complete a full background check. These individuals have a variety of instructional experiences, and many hold graduate degrees. Tutors are considered part-time employees of Bosque School and are expected to abide by the school’s employment handbook and expectations, along with becoming familiar with the school’s culture, curriculum, and instructional expectations.

Where does tutoring occur?

How do the tutors communicate?

One of the hallmarks of a strong tutoring relationship is frequent and clear communication between the tutor and the student’s teachers and parents/guardians. One of the main goals of communication is to ensure that the tutor is supporting the student’s needs and to also ensure that the student does not fall behind in assignments.

Once a student is registered, the tutor will contact both the parents/guardians and the student’s adviser/teachers to develop specific goals for the work sessions and to develop a Tutoring Plan. This Tutoring Plan is shared with the student, adviser, parents, and the BLC Director. Parents and advisers are encouraged to provide feedback to the tutor about necessary changes in the academic focus for future sessions. The tutors also communicate frequently with parents and teachers through email, texting, and phone calls to fine-tune student needs.

Our kids have benefited tremendously from the Bosque Learning Center. Their personalized learning plans have helped our kids be successful academically. The Bosque Learning Center tutors are paragons of professionalism—knowledgeable, effective, empathic, supportive, and collaborative. Our family is grateful for the Bosque Learning Center.
