NO TESTS! NO HOMEWORK!
The Academy for Lifelong Learning is a volunteer-run organization under the auspices of the University of South Carolina Aiken that provides Seniors in Aiken, SC and the entire Central Savannah River Area with a wide range of learning opportunities tailored to their needs and interests.
From its modest beginnings in 1989, the Academy has evolved into a multi-faceted program that provides area Seniors with a wide range of fun and educational opportunities. Each semester the Academy offers short courses and events covering a broad span of interests, ranging from art, music, literature, and science to hobbies, cooking, current events, religion, and both local and broader ranging history.
