A New Alternative Boarding School Experience for Struggling Teenage Girls Looking for Success in Life & Academics

A Safe and Positive Experience

Safety for all students is our primary focus. We make sure each student feels safe in an environment free from discrimination and bullying. Our focus on safety has helped create a positive learning environment that allows for both academic success and clarity in the individual self-improvement journey of each student. With many students already thriving at Life Quest, the environment and culture is positive, and student success is contagious. Coupled with staff oversight and supervision

Learning styles and interests vary per student, and Life Quest takes seriously the need for every student experience to be unique and conducive to their individual strengths and interests. Students learn in an open-campus environment, giving each student a more normalized teenage school and life experience.

There is no behavior-based leveled system to advance through, no points to earn or lose, no hoops to jump through, and no 24/7 locked doors. Instead, there is a self-governing system in place that allows each student to gain confidence in themselves, be able to hold other students accountable, and create their future as they take charge of their own learning.

An Employable Future

After-school activities, off-campus employment opportunities, and the opportunity to gain post-secondary education, builds a bridge from adolescence to adulthood. Life Quest’s goal is to help each young lady gain 21st century job skills. Life Quest encourages students to understand the value of money and entrepreneurial skills. They feel as these tools are coupled with education, it will unlock the doors to future careers and employment success for each student. Students can gain valuable, real-life experience, as well as earn industry standard, in-demand certifications to increase their opportunities of finding sustainable 21st century employment. Life Quest encourages each student to secure employment while living at the academy.

Occupational Therapy Available

We are a non-therapeutic boarding school, so we do not provide therapy, nor do we have therapists on our staff. However, Life Quest does facilitate therapy as needed for students whose parents desire them to meet with a therapist. Life Quest will provide transportation to and from counseling sessions, online connections with therapists through Zoom and other digital media options. Being on the continuum of care, Life Quest understands the importance of incorporating each student’s individual therapy needs with their opportunities for real life experiences. This allows students to practice what they learn or have learned in therapy and apply it to life situations outside of treatment.

A Willingness to Succeed

Life Quest’s setting is best designed for students who are willing to be there, who want to, and are willing to focus on overall self-improvement. This includes academics, future career skills, healthy relationships, and personal growth and development of any other specific life skills that may be lacking in each of their lives. Students need to be willing to make positive choices and be willing to hold themselves and their peers accountable in maintaining a positive culture on a daily basis.

Every student who submits an application to Life Quest is interviewed by our admissions staff to ensure they understand the various life-changing opportunities available to them instead of forcing them into a program

The Self-Improvement Course

Our accredited self-improvement course is designed to help navigate each student through important topics. Each topic allows students the opportunity to self-reflect and take action, giving way for positive interactions with self, peers, and family members. One of the first priorities they have on this course is to identify a personal passion and create a plan to focus on applying this passion during their stay at Life Quest. This course will help our students return home after graduation with a newfound confidence in themselves and in their relationships with family and peers.

Meet the Owners

One of the highlights of Life Quest is the dedication and care of the staff. Besides each staff member, owners Monte and Rachael get to know each girl and do all they can to foster their growth and independence. Rachael is a certified Life Coach for girls who are moving on to college or other adult life situations. Both Monte and Rachael are passionate about creating opportunities for growth for each student. Monte and Rachael award many scholarships to deserving students upon completion of the Self-Improvement Course. Monte and Rachael also encourage all their program graduates to stay in touch and continuously share their life successes with them after they leave Life Quest.
