Because families should get to decide the terms of their daughter's care.
A Dedicated Staff
Our unique institution and staff know the ins and outs of RAD and the painful journey this can be for families. Students and families do not have to suffer through this alone. You can and will find relief and support in your journey with Life Quest! Here at Life Quest Girls Academy, we blend academic rigor with optional outpatient therapy, creating a structured environment where students and families can heal, grow, and thrive once again. The academy's dedicated staff works collaboratively to help students navigate life after trauma, build resilience, and foster healthy relationships. This safe and structured environment is not an intensive treatment center, rather it is a place where students are encouraged to develop crucial life skills and strategies for the future.
Education Beyond The Traditional Classroom
At Life Quest Girls Academy, education goes beyond traditional classroom learning. The curriculum is tailored to address the emotional and psychological needs of each student, emphasizing life skills that promote independence and confidence. Students engage in experiential learning opportunities, with the options to participate in certification courses such as Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), CPR, First Aid, and Pharmacy Technician, all while receiving comprehensive support from an amazing staff.
As students progress, they are guided towards pursuing personal passions that can serve the community around them, potentially securing part-time employment, and ultimately allowing them to practice their newfound skills in real-world settings. This hands-on experience not only reinforces their learning but also builds their self-esteem and prepares them for a successful transition into adulthood. With a focus on healing through education, community, and personal growth, Life Quest Girls Academy offers students a transformative journey, helping them rewrite their narratives and envision brighter futures.

A Day In The Life of Life Quest Students
Staff Guided, Student Engaged
R.A.D. & Traditional Online Focused Academics
Life Quest Girls Academy provides a distraction-free, structured private school where teen girls diagnosed with RAD, who are struggling in their adopted home, can focus most of their time on academics and gaining life skills. Each student is typically on a different educational pace or academic level than their Life Quest peers.
This gives students the opportunity, in a structured and monitored environment, to get caught up with their academics. Many times teenage girls diagnosed with RAD struggle in their public school due to the turmoil at home. Due to the cognitive effects of RAD, they find themselves behind academically speaking and also behind in the area of basic life skills.
Students who are not diagnosed with RAD can also benefit and thrive in our educational environment due to each student focusing on their own individual academics and life skill attainment.
Within reason, all students with IEP or 504 Plans will have all their accommodations met.
Online and in person tutors are available based on the specific needs of the student.
Short-Term Boarding
For Parents & Daughters Needing a Break
We understand that sometimes parents simply need a break from the day-to-day routine and care for their daughter. We understand that sometimes parents may simply need a vacation or a break at home. Life Quest understands and never passes judgment on a family seeking help. Each family situation is unique and complex. We also understand that some families may not be ready quite yet for a more long-term separation. We understand how difficult these decisions can be.
This is why we are extremely flexible when it comes to short term boarding options because parents and families should get to decide how long the separation needs to be.
1 week? 2 weeks? 1 month? 3 months?
Each family situation is unique and there definitely isn’t a one size fits all solution. Let us help you get the break you need and frankly deserve as you continue to weigh your options and contemplate your daughter’s future. We’re here to help families heal in their own unique way. You tell us what you need and let us help you explore our many options and opportunities.

Transitional Living
Aftercare Housing For Your Transition to Adulthood
Life Quest Girls Academy has been a place where young women can explore their potential, gain valuable life skills, and overcome challenges that they may have faced. The journey, however, doesn’t stop there. Once students graduate from the Academy, or coming to us after turning 18 in another school or placement, they often wonder, “What’s next?”
Our transitional housing program is specifically designed to be the next step in this journey, offering a bridge toward a more independent lifestyle while ensuring ongoing support. Our transitional housing students live in an apartment adjacent to our boarding school where they can practice independent living while being supervised and supported in a unique agreed upon way. Our goal is to help each transitional living student ease into adulthood at a pace they feel comfortable with.
