Education: It's Not Just For Kids

"A man is not old until his regrets take the place of his dreams."

Education isn't reserved for the young. If you want a career change, if you want to advance in your profession, if you'd like to take classes purely for the fun of it, even if you'd like to study abroad, no one is stopping you...except maybe yourself?

The benefits of lifelong learning are obvious and there is no shortage of opportunities to continue your education:

1. Check out Senior Summer School for 2 - 6 week summer programs or 3 days - 1 week winter classes.

2. Among other opportunities, Senior Net provides older adults with ways to hone your computer skills and/or study genealogy, graphics, digital photography, and personal financial management.

3. There's an amazing assortment of free online classes available. This includes hobbies, games, home and garden, money, relationships, style, health, and gadgetry.

3. You've heard of Road Scholar, a
behind-the-scenes access to participant education, including excursions, lodging, and time for independent exploring.

See what your community center or community college offers.
