About QUEST FORWARD ACADEMY INC

Quest Forward Academy Inc is a nonprofit organization that operates a network of independent secondary schools using the Quest Forward Learning model, a research-backed, project-oriented approach to K–12 education. The organization partners with Opportunity Education to deliver a learning management platform, curriculum, and year-round professional learning for mentors and school leaders. Quest Forward Academy schools emphasize student agency, habit development, and career/college pathways; the network runs multiple campuses (including known campuses such as Omaha and Santa Rosa) and a Pathways program that supports students through graduation and for several years post-graduation. In recent years the organization has continued to expand program offerings (including middle-school programming at some campuses), maintained high program-expense efficiency, and reported multi-million-dollar annual revenues consistent with operating multiple private secondary campuses.
