Quest is a unique program of our Upper School, where we ask students to engage in independent exploration projects during each of their Upper School years. You can choose to do something new every single year, or you can choose to work on the same topic all four years, or anywhere in between. 

If we have to sum it up, Quest is your chance to push yourself to try something new, be curious, and figure things out along the way.  

The best way to approach Quest is with a sense of playfulness and an expectation that things will get messy and uncertain at times. Don't worry - this is exactly what should happen if you've picked a good Quest! Getting stuck is okay!  We're here to help you get un-stuck and help you get through those frustrating times. We've got you!

Most importantly, remember that Quest is driven by the student.  There are many other expectations and pressures of what you should do with your time, but Quest is about carving out time and space in your life to do something fun and messy.  It might help to think about Quest as a student-driven extracurricular -- advocate for time to do what you want!  We're here to support you, but ultimately it's your Quest journey.
