Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: QUEST MICROSCHOOL

We’re currently seeking volunteers and mentors-people with a craft, trade, or skill to share-who are excited to inspire the next generation. Whether you're an electrician, woodworker, gardener, engineer, musician, mechanic, or maker, your time and presence can leave a lasting impact.

Whether you’re tightening bolts, soldering wires, mixing paint, or showing how to fix a bike chain-we want children to see and experience the beauty of working with your hands and heart.

About QUEST MICROSCHOOL

Mission Statement

Quest is a self-directed, mixed-age community where children take an intentional stance on their learning, are wholly engaged in life, and empowered to design their own unique path. ​Our mission is to nurture lifelong learners, who live authentically, and lead fulfilling lives. We are committed to providing the support and resources necessary to help children explore their interests, acquire essential life skills, and cultivate healthy relationships with themselves and others.

Description

Quest is a community-based education center located in Hatboro, PA, serving children ages 5-12. We opened our doors in 2023 with a vision to nurture the whole child through curiosity-driven, hands-on learning that honors the rhythms of childhood and fosters love and respect for oneself, others, and the natural world.

Our goal is to create a space where children learn by doing-through meaningful experiences, creative exploration, and connection with mentors from the community. We believe education flourishes when children have the chance to work alongside passionate people, gaining practical skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

We’re proud of what we’ve built together with families: a thriving, child-centered environment that emphasizes compassion, creativity, and community.
