My overall experience with Quest Forward High School has varied. I have been here since freshman year and it has changed drastically over time. The staff are always there for you and make sure students have the time and attention when in need of help. They are appreciative and try to teach in ways students are not used to, giving them the chance to learn new things. Quest is a small community that accepts all and is always there for anyone. The school makes activities fun and always creates events bringing everyone together.

This school is great for creating your pathway outside of school and your nearby future. They learn your personal interests and use that information to plan the next couple of years. They find internships and volunteer organizations to help you try new things.

I have been attending Quest for four years and have had a great time. Quest is a small community that has so many stories and memories. As a senior, I have so many happy and fun memories of all of my classmates. Quest has led me to grow as a person and as a student. I have been exposed to so many amazing opportunities both related to my career and hobbies.

My experiences in school have always limited my creative aspect of me. Entering high school I expected the same circumstances, but Quest Forward High School encouraged it. Quest Forward allows my own creativity to be used in each subject. Every class allows me to brainstorm and connect my career interests to my classes.

At Quest Forward High School, I enjoy that we have little to no homework because we have a lot of in-class work on our assignments. We also have a period on Thursdays called WIN where we get called into a class, if one of our teachers calls us in and we have 45 min to work on that class. We can also get called in for a different class after and work more in class too. We also do a lot of hands-on learning with some of our classes.

I'm incredibly passionate about the mission at Quest. The focus on helping students see that there are multiple paths to their dream careers and guiding them through all their options is something I wish I had in high school. Our tight-knit community offers endless support for students, families, and staff. With a 7:1 class size ratio and a 1:12 counselor-to-student ratio, students receive the personalized attention they need to thrive, along with the autonomy in their classrooms to explore their interests. The new leadership team at the school is deeply committed to the mission and prioritizes the student's best interests in every decision they make.

Quest Forward High School has been transformative for my son. The teachers are incredibly dedicated, providing exceptional support and rigorous academics that have truly fostered his growth. Thanks to the school's close-knit community, he's been able to dive deeply into his passions-rowing, music, athletics, and leadership-without the usual high school distractions. This distinctive environment not only nurtures individual interests but also guarantees that students see the tangible benefits of their hard work and dedication.

We are incredibly grateful for the experience our family has had at Quest Academy. Our eldest son recently graduated as a senior, and our younger son is now beginning his journey as a freshman. From the start, what stood out to us about Quest Academy was their exceptional ability to connect with students on a personal level, fostering an environment where our children feel truly engaged and motivated.One of the things we appreciate most is how the school involves students in community activities, helping them explore and develop interests that extend beyond the classroom. This approach not only enhances their academic experience but also encourages well-rounded personal development.As we look to the future, we're thrilled about the new staff and educators who have joined the Quest Academy family. The school has assembled a dream team of teachers who are passionate about guiding and inspiring our youth. We couldn't be more excited about the direction in which the school is headed and the opportunities it will provide for our younger son. Quest Academy has truly been a blessing for our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a school that not only educates but also empowers students to reach their full potential.
