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), a program of Quality Life Center, provides a year-round K–12 private school, afterschool program, and summer camp experience that combines academic excellence, leadership development, and arts education to nurture confident, compassionate, and creative young leaders.
What Makes Quality Life Academy Different?
Here’s How Our Education Model Stands Out
This unique combination nurtures the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally.
Learner-Centered Instruction
Students are active participants, not passive recipients.
Personalized Curriculum
Customized to student pace, identity, and interests.
Arts, Leadership & Wellness
Daily emphasis on creativity, emotional growth, and character.
Flexible Schedule
Designed for deep focus, play, and creative exploration.
Smart Technology Tools
Includes Khan Academy, IXL, SplashLearn, and virtual field trips via VictoryXR.
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.
A Nationally Recognized Civic Engagement Moonshot
Quality Life Academy proudly integrates the Youth-Led Community Solutions initiative—a national youth empowerment movement with its origin rooted in East Harlem and inspired by the Youth Action Program organizing model.
Through Youth-Led Community Solutions, our students:
- Design and implement real-world community solutions
- Practice civic engagement and leadership in action.
- Reclaim their voices and develop the confidence to shape their future.
“We envision a generation grounded in cultural identity, driven by purpose, and equipped to lead lives of excellence and impact.”

Hear From Our Families
Real Stories from Our Community
The Quality Life of SWFL has been a huge part of not just my children’s lives but also my own. I have been associated with the Q for close to 30 years and even though I was a troubled teen, Mr. Muhammed, as well as the staff of the Q, never gave up on me. My children are a part of the Q family now and are growing tremendously! I am so grateful for the Q and their staff.

I had my son at the age of 17, I walked the stage and graduated with college credits. At first, I thought it was just somewhere safe I could send my son while I attend college classes and work but I later found out that it was so much more. The people at Quality Life Center have become a family.

I love the QLC because the staff members are so nice, and it is so fun here—especially in the summer.

QLC is important to me because we do a lot of fun things like parent’s night out.. After we are done with our schoolwork, we play and do what we want. If we are sad, they will help if we are sad.
Skylar
Student
The “Q” is important to me because the fun activities we do. The “Q” is also important to me because of the teacher’s kindness and patience with all of the students.
Milan
Student
QLC is the best school in the world. All I have to say is the food is good and I like to dance and all we do at it is so fun. My friends are nice to others and to me.
