We celebrate with Invention Convention and Illinois Student Invention Convention and cheer on Arnav for the excellence he achieved in receiving multiple awards. Check out this post by Invention Convention.

Quest Academy students extend their impact beyond the classroom and into the real world!
One way this is accomplished is through the inventive process of taking an idea through various models to develop a working prototype. The resulting innovative designs enter the Illinois Student Invention Convention process, with certain inventions advancing to compete at local and national levels.
At Quest, our gifted students value the journey of discovery and the depth of the iterative process. The end result is certainly rewarding and we are very proud of all our student competitors!
Congratulations to the six Quest Academy students who advanced to the Invention Convention worldwide competition at The Henry Ford earlier this month. RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals is hosted annually at The Henry Ford and showcases student inventors from among thousands who compete at state and local invention competitions.
Congratulations to Arnav C for receiving 1st place at the National 8th Grade Level and Portia D for receiving 3rd place at the National 6th Grade Level. Additionally, Arnav earned National Best of Show, Health and Medical Award by Danaher Foundation, and is a Patent Application winner.
Amazing! Go Quest!

#inventions #CSAI #innovation #inventionconvention #gifteded #makinganimpact #questacademy #giftedEvery spring, Quest Academy middle school students venture out of the classroom and experience incredible destination learning opportunities. Students consistently mention these trips as some the most memorable moments as a Quest student.
This year, the 6th/7th grade students traveled south through Springfield to St. Louis with stops at Lincoln's home and tomb, state capitol, Cahokia Mounds, Gateway Arch, riverboat cruise, and City Museum.
8th grade enjoyed the tradition of the Washington DC trip which packs in five days of experiences such as Smithsonian, Washington's Mount Vernon estate, International Spy Museum, Holocaust Memorial Museum, National Cathedral, the Kennedy Center for a theatrical performance, and much more. We even met up with some Quest alums working in the area, including Alum Anna Markey '14 who is an associate producer at Meet the Press.
Grateful for the teachers who made these trip experiences possible for our students! #goquest #gifteded #dctrip #beyondtheclassroom #questacademy #gifted #springtrips #trips2024 #learningtodayleadingtomorrow #experientiallearningShare alert!
If you know a family member, friend, or neighbor with young children, this event is for them! Please share - it's a great way for new families to learn more about Quest Academy and the benefits of gifted education for young children.Still time to join us this summer! Share with friends and family!

Quest Academy students enjoy learning advanced math skills...and then applying them in creative ways!
We are proud of our students who competed in the spring Noetic Math Contest, and earned national recognition for their efforts. Thank you to all the teachers who encouraged our students, and cultivated the skills that continue to promote this level of creative math learning!
Check out the winners and read more here: https://questacademy.org/problem-solved-quest-academy-students-earn-national-math-placements/Congratulations to the Quest Academy Track & Field State Qualifiers on an impressive showing at State!
8th grade student Sebastian made the podium, finishing 6th in the 200! Nice job!
Teammates Bode, Tommy, Sebastian, and Bruce competed in the 4x100. Bode also competed in Discus and Brooklyn ran the 400. All competitors represented Quest proudly with their commitment to practice and strong character. Congratulations to the team and Coach Alicea on a great season! We can't wait to see what these athletes do next!
Quest Academy is an IESA school, which means we compete against other schools across the state at a high level in several sports and academic competitions. #IESA #trackandfield #giftedIt's StarLab week! The Quest Academy planetarium is up and our young scientists are making new discoveries among the stars.
Today, all of the junior kindergarten and kindergarten classes had their turn to go inside our inflatable planetarium and look at the constellation map as drawn by H. A. Rey. They also listened to Greek stories related to some of the constellations.
Beyond the science learning, this is a great opportunity for our young students to demonstrate our character trait of Courage as they enter the StarLab (crawling through the unusual entrance tunnel), and wait in the dark(gulp) for their eyes to adjust to the lack of light. We used a variety of techniques (a phone with a red light app to preserve our night vision, sitting near the tunnel to be able to see the faint light shining in, sitting next to the teacher by the projector) to help with nervousness. They all did amazing!
(Quest Alums...who remembers StarLab week??)Student innovation was on full display at the Illinois Student Invention Convention this past weekend - and Quest Academy students made an impression with their unique inventions! Multiple students won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in their age groups, including Grand Prize Top Score and 3rd Place Top Score. Many received additional special awards such as the Molex Transformation Award for projects that best reflect the power of applying technology to improve lives. Next up: Nationals!
At Quest Academy, students are challenged to think outside the box and apply their learning in the real world. Students in the CSAI class - which is part of the weekly experience in kindergarten through eighth grade - are being prepared for future challenges that aren't even known yet.
Congratulations to all the student inventors!

Our Quest Academy 8th Graders began their 1st day of their Washington, D.C trip with a visit to the Iwo Jima Memorial and a presentation of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That's right! Quest Academy students presented a Quest Academy wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Congratulations to our presenters, Shivani, Poojak, Manya, and Amelia. And congratulations to all of our 8th Graders who are gaining memories that will last a lifetime. Go Quest!
Quest Academy congratulates our own Sebastian Panicker on his recent success at the IESA 1A Track State Finals, held in East Peoria, IL on May 13th. Sebastian set a personal record of 26.97 in the 200m qualifying event, and just missed placing in the finals for the 200m by .17 milliseconds. In the real world, 0.17 milliseconds would be slightly shorter than the time it takes for a camera shutter to open and close at its fastest speed. Way to go Sebastian! You make Quest Academy proud!
