While attending The Academy at Adventure Quest, students have hiked the Inca Trail and climbed Machu Picchu in Peru, studied in the Galapagos Islands, and explored the Amazonian jungles of Ecuador. They have also studied the flora and fauna of Kruger National Park in South Africa, and met a political prisoner who was imprisoned with Nelson Mandela in Cape Town. They have hiked to the Everest base camp in Nepal, reaching 20,000 feet on Island Peak, and have rock climbed and become certified scuba divers in Thailand. They have paddled the rivers of New Zealand, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Zimbabwe, Australia, and many more. The Academy offers three program departments for our students and athletes, each with its own Associate Head of School and staff.
Students select a given program department based on their interests and outdoor skills.
Each program department has its own itinerary, schedule, and cultural study curriculum all overseen by the Head of School. Each program has its own unique characteristics and requirements.
