When a child feels as if they have some kind of say in there classroom, they are liable to work harder.
When an older child can help a younger child, self images go up and skills get internalized.
When children are taught to be independent workers, it helps to achieve better and higher grades and in life.
When children are taught to think, solve problems, use all kinds of sources to find answers, they are more prepared for life.
When community resources and guest speakers come to demonstrate there occupations or even better when the children can go to the workplace and see workers in action, they get a better feel for what they might want to do when they grow up.
QUEST School used to remind me of the old one room schoolhouse. It was a family atmosphere. Everyone had their jobs to do and cooperation was a necessity.
I could go on and on about the history of QUEST and mention many more wonderful philosophies that make QUEST a wonderful elementary school.
