Assessment

Quest students are not assessed by number grades. Instead, they are evaluated by mastering the objectives in the curriculum. Students graduate by mastering all curriculum standards and by completing a semester-long Senior Exhibition during their last semester at Quest. The exhibition integrates public speaking, the use of technology and multimedia skills, and in-depth research concerning a modern day social issue. To augment their research, seniors tackle the social issue and create a social action plan that is implemented and sustainable. The exhibition, along with the social action plan, is then presented to educators, students, parents, and community members.
