Quest University Canada
At Quest, we started from scratch to build a university centered on you. Your classes are all seminars with fewer than twenty students. You take one class at a time - a new intellectual adventure each month. You sample many realms of knowledge, and then build your own major. You use our spectacular natural environment as an extension of our classrooms. You question everything.
We did - and created a transformative education for students from around the world.
Quest is located in the coastal mountain community of Squamish, British Columbia, equidistant from Vancouver and Whistler, host cities of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The University's 60-acre campus borders on Garibaldi Provincial Park, a protected wilderness area with miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Classrooms and student housing overlook the rugged peaks and valleys of the Tantalus Mountains and Howe Sound, Canada's southernmost fjord. These natural surroundings provide a dramatic and inspiring backdrop to the academic and social activities on campus.

Hi Madison, at Quest, students take and tutors (professors) teach only one course at a time in intensive "blocks." Each class takes three hours per day and each block lasts for three and a half weeks with a four day break in between. That adds up to 18 days of class and 54 classroom hours. Taking one course at a time allows for intense engagement in the subject matter. There is no other homework so there are no conflicts with other classes and no need to prioritize. It also makes field trips and field work much easier to schedule (an ecology class can go on an excursion for a week without interfering with other classes). http://www.questu.ca/academics/the_block_plan.php Hope that helps!
