APPLICATION PROCESS
Applications for September 2010 are due February 5, 2010.
Quest Elementary students are grouped in four age-ranges creating a
multi-age environment where children work together and grow
at a pace that is developmentally-appropriate within a
structured learning community.
Among the many school wide activities,
Quest Elementary intermediate students annu ally present an
Exhibition where
they research an
issue of importance and use that knowledge to help take action in their community and world.
Students meet with mentors and/or teachers to ask questions,
request information, go on field trips, etc.
Guided inquiry is
instructional strategy used throughout the school as
a vehicle
for learning. Teachers tap into students’ knowledge and
experiences and lead them through a hands-on process of
exploring, questioning, researching and communicating new
understandings.
Parents are active partners
including volunteers in classrooms, participating in the
Parent/Teacher/Student Organization, helping in the
Library/Media Center or simply coming in to see the
wonderful things going on in the classroom.
We believe that parents as well as students should have
direct input and responsibility in establishing academic,
social and work-habit goals. We believe in
using authentic means of assessment. Welcome to Quest, a school
with both a history and a future!
