"From the first phone call to Life Quest Girls Academy our family felt immediately supported, respected and understood. We were at a point in our daughter’s life and at the emotional state of our family’s life that resembled something like the razor sharp edge of a very scary cliff with no landing gear and no plan. Our situation required immediate and urgent attention. Life Quest responded to our urgency with professionalism, empathy and incredible skills for our beautiful adopted 14 year old daughter. Within 72 hours, our daughter was receiving the care and the space from us that she so desperately needed upon enrolling at Life Quest. Staff communication with us during this challenging and scary transition was amazing, and there were moments for my husband and myself of wonder and disbelief that a facility truly existed to serve these exhausted, heartbroken underserved populations of adopted girls with trauma history. Our daughter is now going into her 5th month at Life Quest. The angry, out of control, terrified teen that entered LIfe Quest is now the vibrant, regulated, respectful teen that welcomed us at Life Quest at our visit last week. We were blown away by the skills and warmth of the staff, the caring relationships our daughter has with other students, the communication skills our daughter is building, and the pride she is beginning to take in her academics. We know that there is a long way to go for the healing of our daughter’s internal wounds and the repair of our family, but this is the first time in our life that we are all working together from a place of growing hope and confidence. Our daughter misses us but shares that LIfe Quest is where she needs and wants to be. We are planning to visit every 3 months, and can send as many letters and care packages as we wish. The peace that each of us is finally able to feel is because of the care and understanding that the staff at Life Quest pours into the residents and families. They have high expectations of their students, they lead by example, they use humor and warmth to communicate, and it all serves to create an atmosphere of safety and contentment. We are so grateful to have found this program, and cannot recommend it highly enough."

“Life Quest Girls Academy helped me be able to apply and complete the admissions requirements for Dixie State University. I was accepted and I am now enrolled in college classes for the fall. They have been so good about giving me the time and structure I need to let me work on things that will actually help me with my future.”

The girls cook and clean up their own meals....They do online schooling for 5 hours a day. They learn to take responsibility for their actions. It is a fantastic program. My daughter is making wonderful progress. So thankful to the staff who work with her every day.

“My daughter was at Life Quest Girls Academy for 5 months. Our journey started when my daughter started losing interest in everything in life except her phone and computer. She progressively lost interest in every facet of life. We had to make a change. After numerous calls to Monte we knew this would be the perfect environment for her to regain her self esteem, confidence and work on herself. We put our faith in Quest and their staff and our daughter went to Utah. It was the hardest day of my life, however, it was the best day. She was getting the help she needed. The staff was beyond professional. They treat everyone so respectfully and really get to know the person and their family. Thus, that’s why we loved how “individualized” the program is. Every person has different interests and they develop their potentials. It is a structured environment so I know my daughter will always be accountable for her time management, however, after trust is earned mutually, their is a lot of freedom. My daughter has since graduated high school while at Quest. In addition, she is going to college and taking an AP course this summer in preparation for college. The Academy has changed our daughters life. It haHeadlines saved her! Lastly, It takes special people to have the patience and optimism to see these children in a different light. The entire staff is beyond wonderful. They gain so much trust with the girls and that is so important for the healing process to begin. We feel bleParagraphssed to know these wonderful people.”

Ten months ago we made one of the hardest decision of our life. We decided to send our beautiful 16 year old daughter away to an all girl boarding school in Utah. She was not heading in the right direction in her life. We realized that the window was small to get her on a path to success. We did our research and found an amazing all girl school in Utah called Life Quest Girl’s Academy. Here Tali learned to be independent, to look inside herself, to love herself, to communicate her needs, to heal herself. The transformation has far exceeded our expectations!
Tali has become a true leader who is now making this world a better place. She is also leading her peers by setting an incredible example and mentoring other girls in the school. Recently Tali did a bake sale to raise money to help the less fortunate. She raised $200 with her bake sale. She then used the money to buy healthy food for families in need. She spent hours in the kitchen cooking and baking for them. The results lot’s of smiling happy people that she touched and even brought to tears. Tali is now 17 and is coming back home to us on April 20th. We are counting down the days for her return. Our relationship with our daughter has completely transformed and our hearts are overflowing with Gratitude to G♥️D. Her beautiful light is shining bright and she is excited about the journey ahead.

“Thank you for all you do for the girls. Thank you for your kindness, patience and support. We appreciate all the work you all do. We are able to sleep at night knowing our daughter is safe and in an environment where she can learn to be the girl we know her to be!”

“Good afternoon. After reading Sam’s portfolio, I am so encouraged! Most of her writing brought me to tears…..this is such a great way of healing as she’s always internalized her problems and denied when I asked her about issues that bothered her.I also read & saw some areas of improvement for myself in order to have a better relationship with her & be a better mama. I see a lot of growth in her; acceptance to her mistakes & wanting to be better. I truly hope this continues. We had a wonderful conversation on Sunday, which hadn’t happened in a long time. I thank God for your program/school, as it is changing her life. Am praying that it’s doing the same for the other girls. I’ll continue to read her portfolios.”
