Is ArtQuest considered an “alternative” style of education?
Yes and No. The time spent in the Specialty is unique, as is the depth and intensity. AQ related Core classes are demanding and also often include atypical projects and approaches. Students come to ArtQuest from all over Sonoma County and beyond, and from diverse school environments, including public, private and home school. ArtQuest strives to support student success through the recognition of different learning styles, high standards and expectations, project-based and literacy-embedded curricula, authentic assessment, student responsibility and accountability, and a supportive community of learners. Having considerable opportunity, resources and support to do work in the Arts during high school is certainly an exceptional alternative.
