Road Scholar

It's a learning adventure!
Learning doesn't stop when you get older. At SCC, we believe sharing new ideas, challenges and experiences is rewarding in every season of life, and that's why we've partnered with Road Scholar, the world's largest educational travel organization for adults 55 and over. Our participants come from every walk of life to learn together, to exchange ideas and to explore.

There are no grades or tests on Road Scholar programs. All that's needed is an inquiring mind, an adventurous spirit, and the belief that learning and discovery are lifelong pursuits.

Here's a sample of some of SCC's Road Scholar programs:
