LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE
Learning is the core of the Rath ConNEXTions Center. Senior Scholars offers lifelong learning in a congenial atmosphere. Knowledge is combined with lively discussions with teachers and coaches. Classes are 2 hours, once a week, for 6 weeks. They are taught twice a year, usually in February (Spring) and October (Fall), and tuition is only $50 per class.
Due to Covid-19 concerns, the Fall Semester is in doubt, and new information will be posted here. If you would like to be updated when new class information is available, please leave your email address in the box below, and we will provide email updates to include information for registration as the class schedule is complete.
