The 8th grade retreat is an opportunity for students to engage in reflection and conversation on the meaning of authentic friendship. In addition to the examination of texts rooted in the classical tradition, students will engage in games, reflection time, and group discussions. The goal of the retreat is for scholars to better integrate the meaning of true friendship into their individual and communal lives.
