About Education

Many agree that education is the foundation to a more fulfilling life. It's certainly the jumping-off point for all who've gone on to make amazing discoveries, solve civil engineering issues, launch startups, create unforgettable art and provide for families. To paraphrase Michelangelo, we're all still learning, and it's never too late to cultivate a skill or explore new career opportunities. Our education offerings may be the start of your next big adventure, or give you insight into the human condition. Prepping for exams? Get strategy for the CPA exam, GED, LSAT, GMAT, SAT and more. Join the conversation on all and sundry topics you wish to learn more about, including philosophy, how to be an effective teacher, human rights, leadership development, adult learning, school reform, the financial crisis, antiques, disaster preparedness, racism, youth conference workshops, marketing, playwrighting, even how to be a hot dog vendor or make your own tarot deck.
