The day we dropped our son off at QEI was a big day for all of us.  He was 4 years old and headed to Mrs. Stephens’ class, something all of us were excited about. Our family chose QEI because we believed that he would get a stellar education among a group of people who cared about his spiritual, social, and academic well-being.  Seventeen years later, we still believe QEI was the best choice for laying a foundation for our child’s future success. After he left QEI for the 7^th grade at a highly competitive private school, he continued to excel academically.  Our son is in his senior year in college now, and has continued to perform at a high level, spending several semesters on either the Dean’s List or the Chancellor’s List.  An investment in our child at QEI-Durham truly was a great investment in his future – spiritually, socially, and academically.
