SoloQuest School & Learning Center

SoloQuest has options for at-home education

SoloQuest has recently been approved by WASC (Western Accreditation of Schools and Colleges) for six more years of accreditation! This enables the school to provide UC approved courses as well as diplomas to graduating students. Through the self study process, SQ was able to show WASC the strength and effectiveness of the school’s mission, staff and curriculum. We are overjoyed to be able to continue to serve our students and provide them with a high quality education.

Hello, Thanks for viewing the SoloQuest Facebook page. My name is Deborah Stewart, founder, director and teacher of SoloQuest. I started SoloQuest 22 years ago to offer customized educational programs to families and students. In these uncertain times I believe the one-to-one instruction and flexibility SoloQuest offers may be a important option for you. Our teachers are all working virtually from home now and throughout the summer. When we open our centers again, we want to make sure everyone, students and staff, is safe. The upcoming year may present further challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic and/or wildfires or power outages. SoloQuest plans to continue offering personalized instruction without interruption throughout whatever occurs. Please take care and stay safe!

Is traditional school a good fit for your child? "Traditional school just isn't the right "FIT" for all students. There are many reasons that traditional school doesn't seem to work for all. Some just need more time; despite the high IQs, they process information more slowly. For others, they have situations in life that keep them from being able to attend during the regular school calendar. And then, there are bright students who are simply missing some of the essential ski...lls that good learners have. These are things like auditory processing, specific kinds of memory, visual processing, attention and executive function. After 20 years as a teacher, administrator and principal, I resigned from my job as a principal in Marin to work at SoloQuest, dedicating myself full time to providing an alternative secondary educational option and academic support to students. The "just didn't fit" students are all different, but what they have in common is an inability to THRIVE in a large classroom-based system. SoloQuest's mission is to focus on the individual learning needs of each student. And the "solo" in the name describes how many parents feel - like they are all alone trying to figure out how to help their kids be successful in a structure that doesn't work for them. The foundation of the SoloQuest approach is to be flexible, whether it is with the student's schedule of courses or the academic or cognitive tutoring support provided. That was many years ago. Today, SoloQuest, a WASC accredited school, continues to provide even more programs, options and possibilities for students. I am often amazed when I look at all we can do for students and families. I would never have believed all this was possible! Is SoloQuest for everyone? Certainly not. Traditional school works for the majority of students. Although, these days some do both - attend the traditional school for all their courses, take one or two courses with us, or come to us to build better and faster learning skills. It can truly be the best of both worlds." - From our Director, Deborah Stewart, on why she founded SoloQuest. Does SoloQuest sound like it might be the right fit for your child?
