Welcome!
I’m thrilled to welcome you to explore Quest Forward Academy. As Director of Admissions and Recruitment and as a parent of a Quest Forward Academy graduate, I can speak personally to the joy (and surprise) parents feel when their teenager comes home from school, excited to share what they experienced that day.
Students don’t just get a rigorous high school education at Quest Forward Academy — they participate in a transformative learning experience. Students learn practical, real-world skills and habits that will prepare them for anything, allowing their confidence to soar. Quest Forward Academy also does a great job acknowledging that each student is unique and needs to be seen and heard to help prepare them for their best young adult life. Students are empowered with choices, supported closely by mentors, and are encouraged to pursue the path that fits them best. The results are amazing.
Now a junior in college, my daughter is well-prepared to create her future, and she is mature, responsible, and thriving.
Every teen is different, and I hope to help you and your student find their best path. Feel free to contact me to learn more about the academy, the admissions process, or to schedule a tour, in person or virtually. I look forward to getting to know you!

Annual tuition at Quest Forward Academy for 2022-2023 is $17,500.
“The community at Quest Forward Academy helps foster positive peer relationships for students that gives me a sense of peace knowing that my kids are safe.”
"'Mom, guess what we learned at school?!' I had NEVER heard this from my son until he attended QFA sophomore year. I now hear it regularly!"
"My daughter has a sense of independence and enjoys the school environment at Quest Forward Academy."
"She is more thoughtful, reflective, and happier than she was at public school."
"I like the fact that the classrooms are smaller for more one on one with students and mentors."
"Students are learning through discussions and engagement. They don’t feel they are 'being taught.'"
"It's a supportive environment and low stress so my daughter can focus and perform her best."
