Learning is a lived experience

Welcome to Quest Montessori Academy, we are a middle school that continues from Fredericton Montessori Academy. We are a private Montessori adolescent school in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Presently, we serve students aged 12-15, the equivalent of grades 7 -9.

Welcome to the time of growth, development and transformation. Take a deep breath and embrace the cocoon transforming into a beautiful sight of becoming an adult. No longer a child and not yet an adult, the adolescents are constantly searching to understand who they are, where they fit in, and what role they will take as active members of society. They want to know how academic knowledge is relevant to the real world, and we must foster this curiosity by offering them authentic real-life experiences.

We love and adore our 12-15-year-old social newborn during this extraordinary time. We must recognize that they have new emotions and perspectives, and friends and relationships have become their new focus. They often try out new unsettling behaviours and may become unaffectionate; this is so perfectly normal. They are compelling and creative, and capable of mature conversations and ideas. At this time in their life, they can solve and create problems better than at another time in their life. They need more sleep, more love, more patience and more understanding.

Students have created a vision for their school, Quest. This vision may change as our students grow and develop.

“Imagine a place where your child is always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome with a parent-communication experience that keeps you informed and confident that your child has fallen in love with learning.”
