Character Education
Knowledge Quest Academy’s Character Pillars – Respect, Responsibility, Family, Love of Country, Cooperation, Integrity, Perseverance, Volunteerism, and Self-Control – form the support framework for our school culture and define behavioral expectations for the KQA students. At KQA, we develop character by defining clear expectations, requiring respectful behavior, and integrating all of this into the school community. Our smaller student body enables close relationships between students and staff members, which helps to ensure personal accountability and fosters a true family-like atmosphere.
Positive Behavior Support at KQA
At KQA we feel it is important that students know our expectations and work together to make the school a positive environment for everyone. To achieve this goal, we have a team that creates and implements positive behavior support systems to help students make good judgments about acceptable behavior. Our school motto is “KQA Trailblazers follow the PATH”; the acronym PATH stands for Pride, Achievement, Trust, and Honor.
In addition to a discipline code with consequences for poor behavior choices, we also have a recognition program to encourage our students to stay on the Trailblazer PATH. Our recognition program has different levels that enable recognition opportunities on a daily, weekly, monthly, and semester basis.
