Quest Elementary/Middle School
 The
Quest School places a strong emphasis on academic
achievement
and improved social and emotional functioning.
Basic academic skills are individualized, with students
receiving instruction in small groups by experienced
certified special education teachers.
Services Offered
 Speech and language, remedial reading and occupational
therapy services are provided for those students whose IEP's
require it. A wide range of clinical services are also
offered, including individual, group and family therapy by a
team of highly skilled licensed clinicians.
A consistent structured behavior management system provides
incentives to support positive behaviors. All students have
the opportunity to participate in a variety of enrichment
activities such as art, cooking, physical education, health
and field trips.
 Extended year services are provided in the summer for those
students who the TEAM determines need a longer school year to
prevent substantial loss of previously learned skills.
The Quest staff is committed to providing a safe, structured
learning environment where students may make academic,
social, emotional and behavior progress that will enable
them to be successful in a less restrictive setting.
