Fall Retreat - The Society for Classical Learning

Decisions...

Do they fly at you like a pelting rain?

Do you find yourself put on the spot, wondering how to respond to a student, parent, or colleague?

Are you plagued by the deep and complex issues of our culture?

Do you wonder how we apply wisdom to truly difficult situations?

Like students confused with their identity? Or polarizing government mandates?

What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?

How exactly do we gracefully engage scared and hurting students, parents, and teachers?

Whether in the boardroom, on the ball field, in the classroom, or on the go…

...as turmoil and uncertainty ravage the headlines, the onslaught of daily questions and decisions remain.

Wouldn't it be great to gather to discuss these complexities together?

Don’t Go It Alone!

FunkyTown at Its Finest

Discover the city where the West begins. Here, you’re invited to a FunkyTown experience – a retreat in the modern-yet-historic heart of a city known as Cowtown.

FunkyTown, Cowtown, or is it Fort Worth? Whatever the name, don’t let locals hear you confuse it with Dallas, because Dallas, it is not.

Featuring:

Stockyards National Historic District – host to the world’s only twice-daily cattle drive
Distinctive blues & jazz heritage
True Texas hospitality and legendary brisket
12 remarkable cultural districts, including Sundance Square entertainment district
Billy Bob’s – the world’s largest honky tonk
Over 200 restaurants and patios

The Kimpton Harper

Housed in a Fort Worth landmark built in 1921, the Kimpton Harper Hotel effortlessly blends the city’s rich history with modern style. Head up to the 24th-floor lobby and Refinery 714, where views of the city and the Texan plains unfold before you, and a lively bar scene beckons with craft cocktails and traditional Ft. Worth fare. Guest rooms feature handcrafted furniture and thoughtfully curated local art, creating a laid-back, luxurious retreat: the perfect place to unwind after exploring the city where the West begins.
