As a former student of the QUEST program, I feel it has had a very beneficial effect on my education. Regular school always felt like it so slow, and the QUEST program really opened doorways as to what I could do. I was pulled out for one day a week, which hardly troubled my elementary career, and learned how to write and operate at a level that was far closer to my learning capabilities. I didn’t feel like an outsider at all in either setting, because I made friends with other highly capable minds like my own. I was challenged and I’m thankful for it.
