Red Tusk Village, Quest University, Squamish, BC

Geschichte

Quest University is Canada's first independent, not-for-profit, non-secular private university. Founded in 2002 and opening in 2007 with 73 students, Quest now offers seminar-style classes to a full-time student body of 700 students from 43 countries. The university considers itself fortunate to operate on the ancestral lands of the Squamish Nation, whose influence on the region can be seen throughout Squamish.

Quest consistently ranks among the top universities in Canada in the National Survey of Student Engagement for its block-based teaching model and self-directed academic environment. More information about the university is available on its website.
