Student Retreat
|
Once a year we invite all current Field Academy students and alumni together for a three day retreat. The purpose of this retreat is to give our students a space to re-connect and re-engage with the meaning and purpose of their education.
Our students told us that returning to high school after the Field Academy can feel like a pretty big change. The Student Retreat offers them a space to discuss their challenges and share their triumphs. Together, they brainstorm about independent studies, new approaches to handling standardized test stress, and better ways to connect school to their real lives. These weekends are ridiculously fun and inspiring beyond words. Students return home re-energized about learning and re-committed to their own education. The extended community of the Field Academy serves as an ongoing network of support throughout the school year: a reminder that across the country there are students and educators committed to making learning and life indistinguishable. |
Being with you guys makes me excited to be a part of what our generation will offer the world!" |
