Kipp Renaissance High School Announces Plans
For Students To Soar
KIPP Renaissance High School has scheduled a special Student Orientation at Renaissance (SOAR), an off-site orientation and leadership retreat for incoming ninth-graders. To be held on the campus of Southeastern Louisiana University, the summer session will include such highlights as:
• Networking with college students
• Sleeping in apartment-style residence halls on campus
• Development of leadership skills necessary for success in high school, college and in life
• Team-building experiences in small- and large-group settings
To be divided into small groups of 15, students will work with a KIPP Renaissance teacher, an outside consultant and a current college student over the course of four days. Learning will be hands-on, interactive, experiential and fun!
SOAR will culminate with a dance on the last night and a ‘rite of passage’ ceremony that families will be invited to attend on the final day.
