There’s a new online education initiative for military-connected students and their parents.
SchoolQuest is a partnership between the Military Child Education Coalition and USAA that offers step-by-step guidance, course recommendations and graduation requirements by state and overseas for students enrolled in Department of Defense schools.
“It provides parents with a great tool all in one place,” said Becky Porter, MCEC president and CEO.

SchoolQuest also allows parents to upload academic records and documents so they are available online.
“It really moves the ball into the 21st Century,” said Porter.
Porter said thanks to a grant from USAA, MCEC has spent the past two years collaborating and identifying the areas that are most important to military-connected parents who often face unknowns about their child’s education during military moves and times of transition to new locations throughout the U.S. and overseas.

Teachers and counselors can also register for SchoolQuest and use the platform to work with students and parents to map out courses, explore academic options, and establish attainable goals for the student.
SchoolQuest also offers complete access to state transition information, Department of Education resources for exceptional learners, state-mandated assessments, immunizations, and driver’s license information.
Porter said parents can use the site to set up a portfolio for every child in the home and also provides scholarship information.
