"My transition into high school was effortlessly smooth because my experiences at Quest made me confident with both my academic abilities and with my goals as a learner." ~ C. Cardone., Class of 2015
Families often ask about the transition to high school, and how we prepare our students for success. Quest graduates are uniquely qualified to enter high school. Not only do our students have the same core academic preparation as their peers from traditional schools, but Quest is also able to provide students with a dynamic and challenging education that is distinctly Montessori. Quest graduates are described by high school teachers and administrators as engaged and curious learners with a unique ability to collaborate with their peers and manage their workload. Quest students graduate with a strong sense of self and an understanding of who they are, and how they learn.
Identifying the most successful high school environment for a Quest student is as it would be for any eighth grader, it is about finding the best fit for the student and the family. Our graduates have gone on to attend every different type of school across New England, including the following:
Public Schools:
East Greenwich High School
Narragansett High School
North Kingstown High School
Portsmouth High School

Quest alumni do very well academically and socially in the high school environment, and have typically placed into honors and Advanced Placement classes. A Quest Montessori experience provides the foundation to easily work with students from varying backgrounds, and to be comfortable discussing academic and social topics with peers and teachers. These skills translate to success for high school and well beyond.
