Student Success
Beyond College
QFHS students have found success in college and beyond. Many students have been inspired by their time at Quest Forward to apply their learning directly out of high school, and have pursued careers in graphic design, film making, computer programming, architecture, recording arts, military service, and more. We’re excited to help all students pursue their goals and ambitions, wherever they may lead.
As a sophomore, I leaned into my passion of serving the community and preparing to earn a college degree. I have completed over 265 service hours as well as over 200 hours of internships through Goldridge Fire Department, American Medical Response, Sonoma Life Support. Next year, I will be attending a 2-week bootcamp that will complete my EMT certification.
I attribute much of my ability to think and mesh ideas together to my Quest Forward High School classes and experiences. Lessons were not only about completing traditional assignments but also about finding what interests me and diving into that. Because I was passionate about what I was learning, I explored topics on a much deeper level.
Scholarships
Quest Forward High School students can qualify for financial aid from the Ricketts Family Scholarship program. These scholarships are awarded to students based upon merit and need. Scholarships are typically very substantial and often cover the entirety of a student’s tuition. QFHS students received over $2 million in scholarship in the 2022-23 school year alone.
Applications for the Ricketts Family Scholarship must be submitted as part of a student’s admissions packet. Contact us to learn more about your student’s eligibility for the Ricketts Family Scholarship.
College Admissions
The best measure of success for any school is whether it is providing students with an advantage in gaining admissions to competitive colleges and universities. Quest Forward High School graduates have outpaced that national average with their admissions success.
