Did you know? Ninth graders participate in a freshman retreat at the start of the academic year. This two-day retreat allows for students to get to know each other before classes begin. Each new student is paired with a Peer Mentor, a current student who answers questions and offers advice to help in their transition to the community. Peer Mentors communicate with new students during the summer months and meet with their small group of new students several times in the first few weeks of the school year. Transfer students also participate in activities at the start of the school year with their Peer Mentors to support their transition to the community. To bookend the class bonding experience, 12th graders participate in a senior retreat at the start of their final year at LFA to reflect and build upon the leadership they have gained during their time on campus.
