Where is Quest?
The main campus of our institution is located on the expansive 850-hectare Quiet Waters wilderness estate, which is adjacent to Falcon College, a prestigious boys’ senior school in Matabeleland. While the main campus serves as the central hub, we also utilize several other locations to cater to specific disciplines, ensuring a diverse and captivating learning environment.
These additional locations include the breathtaking Matopos hills, the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, the captivating Bubye Valley Conservancy, and the scenic Eastern Highlands. By incorporating these distinct locations into our curriculum, we aim to provide students with a high degree of interest and variety, fostering a deeper connection to nature and a broader understanding of different geographical contexts.
Within the main campus, Falcon College plays a vital role by offering state-of-the-art facilities such as the high-performance center, Information Communications Technology (ICT) resources, and Technology and Design equipment. This collaboration allows us to provide students with cutting-edge resources and support their academic and extracurricular pursuits effectively.
By leveraging the resources of Falcon College, our institution ensures that students have access to modern technologies, enabling them to explore and engage with various fields of study. The incorporation of Information Communications Technology and Technology and Design facilities further enhances the learning experience, promoting innovation, creativity, and technical proficiency among our students.
In summary, our main campus is situated on the picturesque Quiet Waters estate, adjacent to Falcon College. However, we also utilize diverse locations across the region to offer a wide range of disciplines and maintain a high level of interest and variety. The collaboration with Falcon College provides students with exceptional facilities, including a high-performance center, Information Communications Technology resources, and Technology and Design equipment, fostering an environment conducive to holistic growth and academic excellence.
Who can apply, is this for me?
Quest Africa is open to 17-22-year-old men and women (Mixed Core) and runs throughout the year with various courses. There are two short breaks during this time. At the same time, Quest is not for everyone. Not all candidates who apply will be accepted, and not all candidates who start the program will finish it. It is truly challenging. Individuals will be assessed on a mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional level before joining the programme. During the course of the programme a young man’s/woman’s character will be tested; he/she will develop physical and mental courage tempered by a sense of what is right. By the end of the course, he/she will have developed real mental grit, exceptional physical stamina, and possess near-unbreakable self-esteem. Throughout, he/she will confront and conquer his/her fears on an individual level and as part of a team. Through this team-work exceptional bonds of friendship will be established that will last a lifetime; most importantly, they will have developed the real essence of leadership, which is carrying people with them by persuasion and example. By the end of the programme, the participants will be equipped to take responsibility for their destiny by making decisions based on a variety of experiences and knowledge gained during the programme.
How much free time will we have?
The Men’s Core will have two scheduled breaks, and the Mixed Core will have one scheduled break (specific dates will be communicated). Additionally, depending on the schedule, participants can expect to have free time during certain parts of the weekend and evenings. Furthermore, there will be special occasions where parents, family, and friends will be invited to join us, fostering a sense of community and celebration.
Although it is generally encouraged for participants to fully commit to the Quest experience, we understand the importance of family and significant personal events. Therefore, while it is not actively encouraged, Quest acknowledges that participants may need to request a leave of absence to attend important family occasions like weddings. We strive to be understanding and accommodating in such situations, ensuring that participants can balance their personal commitments with their Quest journey.
