An innovative, secular, liberal arts and science university located in Squamish, British Columbia.

At Quest, our goal is to prepare young minds to understand and address the deeply complex and rapidly evolving world that they will shortly face. The twenty-first century has seen the dawn of the creative economy and, increasingly, the skills that employers demand are those of critical thinking, effective communication, problem-solving ability, and innovation. To this end, Quest's basic educational goal is to provide creative, flexible and competent minds geared to these future challenges.
