Every Quinnite Graduates

We are committed to seeing every Quinnite not just enroll, but thrive and graduate. That's why we've launched Operation: Every Quinnite Graduates, a comprehensive program designed to support our students holistically. We understand that academic success is just one piece of the puzzle, which is why our program addresses the self-regulated variables crucial to each student's journey, such as motivation, self-esteem, and social integration. Through personalized mentorship from dedicated faculty and staff, students receive weekly check-ins, goal-setting sessions, and access to tailored academic and life skills support. Our mentors provide guidance on everything from study strategies to stress management, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. With small mentorship groups and a commitment to accountability, we're not just aiming to increase retention and graduation rates—we're creating an environment where every Quinnite can thrive and achieve their fullest potential.

Personalized Learning

Traditional college curriculum has left graduates under-prepared. That is why we have developed our own academic model that is grounded in learning the realities of the world and the workforce. We call them the Quinnite Arts. They are designed to be relevant, challenging and to equip leaders with the tools they need to succeed in any field. Our small class sizes offer focused and personal attention, deeper conversations, and stronger bonds with classmates.
