Still Hopes Classroom
Learning is important throughout every phase of life. Take a class in a subject you already enjoy such as history or try something new like watercolor painting. A wide variety of continuing education classes are offered on the Still Hopes campus. Some are offered on an ongoing weekly basis, free and open to the public and require no commitment. Others are taught in 6 – 10 week sessions of weekly 1 hour blocks of time with registration and minimal fees required. All classes are taught by qualified instructors who are either current or retired educators in their various fields of study. Many residents of Still Hopes teach classes on our campus. Great opportunity exists for residents to be a part of our Classroom faculty. All classes are open to the public.
