There are two classes per grade. and two pre-kindergarten classes. the curriculum taught to each grade two years above the typical grade level. HistoryThe school, first known as Creative Children's Academy, was started in 1982. The school was awarded full accreditation by the ISACS in 1988. In 1993, the park district which then owned the school's facility announced its decision to raze the building. Two school administrators agreed to share the school board's purchase of the former Palatine Public Library, which would be remodeled into a school facility, as well as the head of school position. The school's name was changed to Quest Academy in 1999 and a capital campaign funded the addition of a gymnasium and performing arts wing. Extracurricular activities{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2015}}Quest Academy's middle school athletic teams include boys' and girls' cross country, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and track. The student council program is called the Knight Program. To become a knight, students must be courteous and follow twelve specified character traits while also doing a "knight" project. School-wide "pageant" assemblies are held where new knights and "squires" are recognized. To be a knight or squire, you must demonstrate the character traits.
