Our special sauce is providing a residential experience for scholars during the summer.
This summer experience combined with our college preparation and persistence program enable us to be a leader in the college access space!
OUR MISSION
The mission of QCS is to prepare and support under-resourced students academically and socially to succeed in their post-secondary journeys. We provide an intentional residential lived experience that replicates the academic rigors and social complexity of being away from home for college. Our vision is that through this experience, our scholars develop the hard and soft skills to not only find their right academic, social, and financial post- secondary fit, but to thrive on their next journey.
WHAT WE OFFER
QCS gives high-achieving, under-resourced, public high school students a multi-year summer residential experience that provides its scholars with a clear path to high school and college graduation.
Scholars prepare for college acceptance and success by participating in one of the most academically rigorous college-level curriculum while gaining the lived-experience of being away from home during the summer with peers in a dorm-like setting before college begins. Scholars are also eligible to receive year-round college counseling during their high school years and college persistence support during their college years.
