We have participated in New Dimensions for several years and I must say that this year, both spring and fall, have been the best yet.

I took nine classes this time. This has been the best educational experience I’ve had in the several years I’ve been taking New Dimensions classes.

Membership

A variety of classes are presented each of our two annual terms (fall and winter/spring). Participants can enroll in any number of classes on a space available basis with a membership fee of $75 for each term in which they register. 

Class Meetings

​Classes meet in various locations and have diverse formats. Some may meet only once per term; others a number of times. Most meet during the daytime. 

Learning for fun!

Courses involve no tests and no papers — simply learning for the joy of learning in a noncompetitive environment. Volunteer instructors are community members with advanced skills and knowledge in the subject they are teaching.  They will maintain a balance of opinion and approach controversial subject with a neutral perspective.  All of our instructors are experts in their field.  Many live here in our community while others join us from afar via Zoom.  Courses are designed to encourage participation and to challenge one's thinking.

Join us!

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join regardless of race, creed, color, and/or educational level.
