Retreat Week
We begin our school year in retreats for all students and faculty. This format allows fewer disruptions in the fall class calendar, and faculty and advisors can fully participate with their students during the program. Each Form will create new friendships with one another, build on existing relationships, and engage with our community. While academic classes begin the following week for Upper School students, retreat attendance is mandatory as we feel that attendance is essential for establishing our Upper School community. You will receive a separate email about your Form-specific retreat.
