We offer a university-level education, tailored for seniors living in retirement and assisted living communities. Our course offers a curated variety of the most interesting topics selected based on learnability and engagement metrics.
Keeping minds as sharp as possible, for as long as possible
This isn’t simply auditing a college course, and our goal isn’t to have students pass an exam. Based on principles of science outreach, our classes offer an eclectic blend of engaging topics. We select the most interesting components of university lectures and present them in a succinct, understandable format. It’s entertainment, based on academic knowledge.
Our Class
Our professors hold graduate degrees and have taught at a university level. Our professors are trained to teach in assisted living environments and are able to adapt lessons to fit the needs of the individuals in attendance.

Succinct. Continuous. One hour, once a week, endless topics.
About Us
Our academy offers an abridged course covering the most interesting topics from multiple disciplines. Each class covers a variety of curated topics created to be engaging to a wide range of interests and backgrounds.
Our course is designed with two primary goals.
The first goal is to keep minds as sharp as possible, for as long as possible. We have adapted decades of neuroscientific research on how we learn to create a course that contains highly-learnable material.
Our second goal is to create an academy based on the concept of recreational education. That is, university-level information presented in a format created for leisure. We make academic knowledge enjoyable.
Our approach to lifelong learning
Our curriculum isn’t about topics related to aging or Alzheimers. We provide moments of leisure, not teachings on topics that remind seniors of the challenges they may face.
Because we are not working through any individual university, we are able to customize based on entertainment and engagement metrics—key to attention and learning.
Our courses are designed to create a seamless experience for continuous learning.
Our classes are tailored specifically to individuals in retirement and senior living communities.
While other lifelong learning programs offer specific courses with limited interest ranges, such as the History of Jazz or Computer Applications for Seniors, our courses offer a curated blend of subject matter and topics to appeal to a wide range of interests.
Our professors travel to your community, and students can join at any time.
Keep your mind sharp,
Keep your intellect sharper
Created by a neuroscientist, our course is designed to activate neural connections that preserve cognition as we age
