Quest Academy

Quest Academy offers students in Alameda County an alternative to classroom instruction with a standards-based course of study. Independent Study is an instructional strategy that is based on a contractual agreement between the teacher, the student, and the parents/guardians.

Quest Academy Independent Study is available to students in grades 7-12 in Alameda County. Students may be referred by probation or by school districts. For more information contact Quest Academy at (510) 670-7610.

Student Eligibility
School districts have primary responsibility for serving the students in their communities. ACOE supports students who can’t be served by a district or who need special programs not offered in their district, including: expelled youth, students on formal probation, students under the supervision of child welfare, teen parents, foster youth, students on informal probation for attendance or behavior problems, and infants and pre-schoolers with special needs.
Student Enrollment

Students are referred to ACOE SPaS through their school district of residence, child welfare agency or the probation department. Enrollment is for one semester to a calendar year and may be extended.
