The 9th Grade Bridge Retreat is a three-day overnight experience where rising 9th graders from all Higher Achievement affiliates come together to prepare for the transition into high school. Through hands-on activities and guided sessions, scholars build academic skills, build social-emotional confidence, and form a supportive peer community. The retreat is designed to help students enter 9th grade feeling prepared, connected, and ready for what high schools will expect.
