Custom Retreats

Do your rising seniors need a one-day summer program to whip them back into academic shape for the Fall? Do your weary, beloved teachers and administrators need a weekend retreat to rejuvenate them after a grueling school year? 


Since 2021, Chesterton & Zoë have been adapting Sinclair House Seminars to serve the needs of classical Christian schools in the Virginia area, for students, faculty, and staff. Seminars can be anywhere from single afternoon sessions to immersive weeklong experiences, and anything from rigorous academic programs to contemplative, leisurely retreats.


If you are interesting in learning more about a custom retreat for your student, faculty, or staff, please contact Chesterton & Zoë at chestertoncobb@gmail.com.
