A small, independent high school where students thrive.
Does your child wish for a personalized school, with smaller classes, and teachers who actually know them and what they need?
When Quest Forward Academy students join in grade 9 they begin a 4-year journey to hone their skills and build essential habits for success. Every year, students progress through a curriculum of skills-focused projects that prepare them for their unique career path.
Supported by 4 years of comprehensive counseling, integrated internship experiences, dual-enrollment options, and our City as Campus program, Quest Forward Academy graduates are equipped to achieve their dreams.

“I value the abundance of opportunities and resources that Quest Forward Academy provides to the students. As students, we have the opportunity to participate in internships, junior college classes, unique field trips, exciting lab activities, and engaging classroom discussions. These opportunities have allowed me to think deeply about how my personal interests connect to my academic career.”
– Sara, Student
