About Us
Rio Grande Education Collaborative has grown over the last decade to be the biggest grant-based after school services provider in the state of New Mexico. RGEC continues to provide its high-quality academic enrichment program to homeschooled families and communities through more than 60+ school sites in the state of New Mexico. Our response to families’ needs has made RGEC a trusted name among parents and homeschooled children alike in the Los Lunas and Belen areas.
Mission
The MISSION of RGEC is to leverage resources and opportunities to create a continuum of services to support the social and academic dreams of children, their families and their communities. We provide pathways to success through the development, application and management of services – primarily before and after school programs- to children from all walks of life.
Vision
Our VISION at the Rio Grande Educational Collaborative (RGEC) is to dedicate our organization to preparing children, family and community for life-long success.
After School Programs for Homeschooled Students
RGEC customizes our after school programs to help augment the school’s areas of weakness. Learning may include lessons in science, math, geography, literacy, and the arts. We also incorporate subjects that the school may have had to drop or minimize due to lack of funding, like music, fine art, performing arts and sports. Students begin their afternoon at RGEC with a snack or a light meal right as soon as the school day has finished.
- Snack or Light Meal
- Homework Help
- Enrichment Time
Students participate in homework help and enrichment classes which are grouped by grade level and cover academic subjects like literacy, science and math as well as entrepreneurship topics like nutrition, physical wellness and dramatic arts. All our program instructors are certified in CPR and First Aid and must pass a CYFD background check. We also offer Social Emotional Learning. Our programs are licensed through the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department to ensure that a high level of safety standards exist and the best practices are followed, providing a safe program for your child. RGEC’s program instructors provide children with a fun, nurturing program that is essentially an extension of their own family through guidance, inspiration and motivation.
