Quest to Learn (Q2L) is a public middle and high school in New York City.
The school encourages hands-on problem solving,[5] and is designed to promote learning of skills many experts say are necessary for college and career success, such as systems thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy.
Not only do students play games in the classrooms, they learn to make them in order to demonstrate their systems thinking skills.
According to Brian Waniewski, the Managing Director of the Institute of Play in 2012, Quest to Learn's students "are performing at or above New York City-wide averages on standardized tests.
In the first 20 months of the school’s operation, students showed statistically significant gains in systems thinking skills, according to a study from Florida State University.
