“Quest is not for everyone - it is for gifted children and high achievers. Quest encourages independence; even in kindergarten our children are encouraged to advocate for themselves. Quest has many high energy children and the staff are fully equiped to deal with them. Learning comes naturally at Quest, discipline is real and the children are learning at a fast pace. There is no other school like Quest, if you want the best and only the best for your children you want them at Quest.”

“This is a beautiful new school with caring adults, from the Principal, Assistant Principal, Dean, teachers and office staff. Everyone wants the children to suceed. My child is doing very well there. Most of the children are about working about 1 year in advance. This is the best school with a wonderful attitude toward gifted children”

“This school is a blessing to our family. I have a son who is an advanced learner and he is challenged and allowed to learn at his own pace. He is learning one to two grades ahead of what he would be learning in an average classroom. He learns right in the classroom with his class and does not need to be taken to another classroom because he is advanced. This school is a perfect match for my son! The office staff is very caring! My son's Teacher is amazing and both the Vice Principal and Principal are great! I couldn t find a better place for my son!”

“My son went here before the new building & all I can say is dont waste your students time!!! The staff leaves much to be desired & the pricipal should not be dealing with young children!! The title 'Gifted' gives them a big head yet they treat the students no better than your average public school. Bullying was a huge problem & the lack of knowlegde on dealing with gifted students showed! I was very disappionted & actually withdrew him & found a Charter school. That was the best thing I could have done for him!!!”

“Th things that were taught weren't any better than the public schools. The emphasis on 'gifted' wastes the majority of they're recourses. I hated my teacher, who was lazy. I also hated that before they got a new facility, it was just a mobile unit, and had one bathroom for boys in the whole place.”

“We feel that this school is changing our 2nd graders life. He is challenged every single day. He hated going to school before this year, even preschool. The principal, the assistant principal, the dean of students, the gym teacher, the music teacher, the staff at the front desk, the technology teacher, and especially the second grade teachers are more than fantastic! The kids get to play outside when there's snow on the ground, they get to run, laugh and be children. They do well in school because they are in a loving, safe, structured environment. The assignments are challenging and so much fun at the same time. We are so impressed with this school, and so thankful our son is getting his education at Aurora Quest Academy.”

“This school is a blessing to families with GT kids. The philosophy of the schools centers around some of the specific traits that GT kids have. By knowing the traits and characteristics of these kids, the school can nurture them and help them grow more fully than in a 'traditional' school. The school has high academic standards and is one of the highest performing schools in the state. The students are academically prepared for middle school and even high school. These students do incredible things! Also, the school offers many extras (such as chess club, Spanish club, Drama, Roots and Shoots) which are provided by an outstanding parental volunteers. Huge parent involvement and fantastic teachers and principal. We have loved our years here.”

“My daughter went to this school the first year it opened. Granted, there are always problems in the first year, however, it seemed that there were areas that they were not interested in changing. Too much self esteem. Not enough basic core curriculum type education. Too much child-first point of view style. The teachers felt it was more important to make the kids feel SPECIAL than to educate and instill them with true sense of accomplishment. We do not know currently how they have improved these concerns, but we seriously doubt they have. Discipline was not something they were comfortable with. If a child did something bad they were sent to the guidance counsilor to 'work out' their problems, instead of being made to see that what they were doing was wrong. No black and white values in this school at the time we attended.”
