Welcome to Quality Life Academy

Your Child Deserves More Than a One-Size-Fits-All Education

Most traditional schools expect students to learn the same way, at the same pace, with the same rewards. But every child is unique — and far too many feel unseen, unmotivated, and disconnected from their learning.

Quality Life Academy (QLA) is a year-round, K–12 private school that blends leadership development and the arts in a dynamic, student-centered environment. We nurture each learner’s inner brilliance and guide them to become confident leaders, creative thinkers, and compassionate changemakers.

Who We Are

A School Where Students Discover WHO They Are, WHY They Matter, and HOW They Can Serve

At QLA, we believe every learner has genius within them.

We see our students as jewels — each with unique gifts to discover and meaningful roles to play in the world. Education here is not just academic; it’s personalized, powerful, and purpose-driven.

We are committed to being a school that students love to attend, where they feel empowered, understood, and engaged every day.

Learning That Works

Does the Quality of Life Model Work?

We believe in its potential. While we are still in the early stages of implementation, the academic model we are adopting has a strong track record of success. Students in similar programs have achieved top national percentiles in MAP testing across core subjects such as math, reading, science, and language usage.

Our approach emphasizes daily coaching and personalized learning dashboards to support student growth, time management, and subject mastery.

“There is genius in every learner. Our job is to help them discover it and put it to work.”

We are building the conditions for this discovery to take root and flourish.
