Join us for an Academic Retreat on the poetry of William Butler Yeats led by Michael Cowan, Dean of Humanities at Valor Education.

Important Details

Travel: participants are expected to pay for their own travel to and from the retreat. We recommend flying into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and arriving at the Kingfisher Center at least an hour before the event begins.

Cost: The standard fee for each academic retreat is $1,200, which includes lodging, meals, and texts.

Scholarships: Full scholarships are available for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and professors. Please indicate your desire for a scholarship on the application. We do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone desiring to participate in one of our retreats.

Academic Retreats are offered free of charge to Valor Education faculty and staff.

Sponsorship: The Valor Institute is looking for partners to join us in expanding our retreat offerings. Please contact Joel VanDerworp if you are interested in sponsoring our programs.
