Never stop learning
Seniors, 50 years of age or older, come to Forever Learning Institute to enhance and share their knowledge in a formal classroom setting. Our semesters are 10 weeks in length and are taught by volunteer subject-matter enthusiasts simply for the joy of teaching and learning.
Forever Learning clearly demonstrates that a life of service and the love of learning combine to create a full and rich community. Our curriculum includes almost any topic imaginable. We currently have courses in history and political science, music, foreign languages, creative arts, literature, spirituality, health and wellness, technology and computers, and business. -
