Student-Led Conferences
The Leadership practices throughout the school are very visible and can be found in almost any aspect of learning at Questfield. Two times during the academic year, students and preschoolers starting at 4 years old have the opportunity to fully prepare and deliver a presentation of their goals, achievements and aspirations in front of their parents / carers and Teacher. It is a moment to recognise their progress and congratulate them on their courage and self-expression skills, which start being built very early.
International Camps
Embark on a global journey of discovery with our international camps program. Designed to broaden horizons and foster cultural understanding, our camps offer students the opportunity to immerse themselves in diverse environments, forge lifelong friendships, and develop invaluable skills. From exploring ancient ruins in Europe to engaging in community service projects in rural areas, our camps provide hands-on learning experiences that extend far beyond the classroom. Join us as we explore the world together, cultivating global citizens who are ready to make a positive impact on our interconnected planet.
Events
Questfield students are involved and exposed to various events during the school year, which promote a great sense of belonging and cultivate their awareness of being part of the same diverse community.
Cozy Corners
One of our school’s core values is balance and our commitment is to make everything around the students feel balanced: from curriculum, schedule, attitudes and even their learning environment. We are all working closely, students, teachers and parents, to provide as many cozy corners as possible in the classrooms, hallways, cafeteria and library areas. This is only to enhance our learners` feeling of being in a home-like environment, safe and open to sharing and caring for one another.
Outdoor Learning
Studies show that outdoor learning delivers many benefits — reducing stress, improving moods, boosting concentration, and increasing a child’s engagement at school.
We strive to enhance our campus with as many outdoor learning opportunities as possible, to create exhilarating, fun and, overall, inspirational learning experiences.
Trips & Outings
School trips are organised for all year groups not only to support their learning but also as an aid to personal development. These experiences enable pupils to spend time intelligently and happily, sharing experiences with others.
At Questfield, trips and outings are organised regularly, usually every 6 weeks or corresponding to certain Service Learning projects or learning units.
Pupils can derive considerable educational benefit from taking part in trips. They may undergo experiences not available in the classroom; visits help to develop a pupil’s investigative skills and encourage greater independence and resilience. They also provide pupils with knowledge and awareness of the world around them and encourage personal and social development.
Enrichment Programmes
Questfield offers every school year a wide range of extracurricular activities to choose from. Every beginning of September, we organise on our campus a Clubs’ Fair to provide parents and students with a real opportunity to interact directly with the specialised teachers, ask questions and try some of the activities offered.
Registrations are accepted as termly commitments on a first come – first served basis. The principles of offering clubs at school are bringing some of the best providers on the market to reduce parents` travel times to or from such activities and covering as many interest areas as possible for our students and preschoolers.
For the current academic year, some of the Clubs included in our afterschool programme are: Krav Maga, Chess, Robotics, Video&Content Creator, Science, Drama, Debate, Modern Dance, Ballet, Basketball, Fencing, Cooking and many more.
Assemblies
Once every two weeks, students in Primary and Secondary gather to celebrate success, share ideas, meet guests and enjoy the feeling of togetherness. School Assemblies are events 100% coordinated by students, where their ideas and opinions are heard, noted and valued.
Our school Assemblies are a mixture of five basic ingredients:
- Supporting school curriculum by being built around a related theme;
- Being filled with valuable messages and lessons;
- Encouraging variety of expression (through music, dance, arts, drama, stand-up comedy, presentations);
- Inviting personalities to speak according to children’s interests;
- Celebrating students` success both academically and on a personal development level by validating the idea that we expect progress, not perfection.
Student exchanges
Dive into an enriching cultural exchange adventure with our student exchange program. Designed to foster cross-cultural understanding and personal growth, our exchanges offer students the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and immerse themselves in new environments. Through living with host families and attending classes in a foreign country, students gain firsthand experience of different lifestyles, languages, and traditions. These exchanges not only cultivate global awareness but also build resilience, independence, and a sense of empathy. Join us in embracing the transformative power of cultural exchange, as we prepare students to thrive in an increasingly multicultural world.
Big Brother Programme
The Big Brother programme is an innovative, student-led programme that makes it possible for younger students to be taught by their older peers. Students from upper grades are mentored by their teachers and prepare for these sessions to include as many elements as possible for an outstanding lesson, from introduction of new concepts, to assessment techniques and creating feedback opportunities.
House system
Embark on an exciting journey of camaraderie and discovery with our unique house system at Questfield International College. Inspired by the spirit of exploration, our houses—James Cook, Cousteau, Armstrong, and Magellan—honoring renowned adventurers, form the foundation of our vibrant community. Each house fosters a sense of belonging, encouraging students to collaborate, compete, and grow together. Through friendly competitions, service projects, and academic endeavors, students develop leadership skills, resilience, and a strong sense of pride in their house affiliation. Whether charting new academic territories or championing causes close to their hearts, students rally under the banner of their house, forging lifelong friendships and creating lasting memories. Join us as we embark on a quest for knowledge, unity, and adventure through our house system at Questfield International College.
Summer School
Welcome to our dynamic summer school program, where learning meets adventure in an inspiring atmosphere. Designed to ignite curiosity and foster academic growth, our summer sessions offer a diverse range of courses and activities to engage students of all interests. Whether honing artistic talents, delving into language immersion, or diving into swimming lessons, our program provides a platform for students to pursue their passions and discover new ones. With experienced educators guiding them, students delve into interactive lessons, hands-on projects, and collaborative activities that promote critical thinking and creativity. Beyond the classroom, our summer program encourages students to embrace the outdoors, participate in sports, and forge friendships that last a lifetime. Join us for an unforgettable summer of exploration, growth, and fun!
Drama
Drama is an integral part of the curriculum at Questfield, being taught weekly starting with Year 1 / Prep Grade by a specialised Drama Teacher. As a curriculum subject, it gives students a practical knowledge of how drama works as an art form and helps children think about the ‘who, why, where, and when’ elements of stories, events and everyday experiences, while enabling them to develop a creative perspective on life and giving them freedom of expression.
Leadership roles
At Questfield International College, we prioritize fostering leadership skills in our students, emphasizing the importance of initiative and setting positive examples. We believe that every child possesses the potential to be a leader, not just in managing tasks, but in inspiring others through their actions. By involving children in leadership teams and roles, we empower them to take ownership of their learning journey and contribute positively to their community. Through this approach, students learn to become autonomous, collaborate effectively, communicate confidently, and make ethical decisions, preparing them to excel not only academically but also as responsible and compassionate individuals to a rapidly changing world.
MUN projects
Participating in Model United Nations (MUN) projects and conferences is an enriching experience for students at our school. Through MUN, children engage in simulated diplomatic discussions and debates, tackling real-world issues within the framework of the United Nations. These experiences provide students with a platform to develop essential skills such as critical thinking, public speaking, research, and negotiation. By immersing themselves in global affairs and assuming the roles of diplomats, students gain a deeper understanding of international relations and the importance of collaboration on a global scale. MUN projects and conferences not only enhance academic learning but also foster cultural awareness, empathy, and a sense of global citizenship among our students.
Duke of Edinburgh
At Questfield, we are proud to offer our students the opportunity to participate in the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh program. This internationally recognized program empowers young individuals to challenge themselves, build resilience, and develop valuable life skills. Through a diverse range of activities encompassing community service, physical fitness, skill development, and adventurous journeys, our students embark on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. The Duke of Edinburgh program encourages students to step out of their comfort zones, set ambitious goals, and persevere in the face of challenges, fostering qualities of leadership, responsibility, and compassion. By participating in this program, Questfield students not only enhance their personal development but also become active contributors to their communities, embodying the values of excellence and service that define our school ethos.
Service Learning
At Questfield, our service learning program goes beyond traditional community service by incorporating a Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology. Through this innovative approach, students actively engage in addressing real-world issues within their communities while developing essential academic and life skills. By working on meaningful projects that align with their interests and passions, students gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between their education and the world around them. Whether it’s organizing fundraising events, conducting environmental clean-up initiatives, or collaborating with local organizations to address social challenges, our students learn the value of empathy, teamwork, and civic responsibility. Through Questfield’s service learning program, students not only make a positive impact on their communities but also cultivate a lifelong commitment to service and social justice.
