South Mountain Community College Community Education
Classes Help Thousands Achieve Their Personal Best
Just imagine: You can get healthy with classes in yoga, Tai Chi or ballroom dancing — and with your new, extra energy take classes in Speedy French or Speedy Japanese. At the same time, why not enroll in a photography class — then, of course, hop on a plane to take photos of the Eiffel Tower or Downtown Tokyo?
Sound like fun? South Mountain Community College’s Community Education classes can make it a reality.
Beginning in January 2008, the college will offer more than 150 fun and interesting non-credit and one-credit courses for lifelong learners of all ages -- at 18 locations throughout the South Mountain Village area, including Ahwatukee and Laveen. Classes start on various dates.
Exercise and fitness classes such as Pilates, yoga, Tai Chi or golf will give you the stamina you need to travel, hike, and more; photography classes will teach you how to compose that perfect picture; computer classes will help you save and share the result; and speedy foreign language classes will teach you how to discuss it all in French, German, Italian, Spanish or Japanese!
Other classes include interior design, a home-loan financing seminar, GED study preparation program, jazz ensemble, community band, women’s personal defense, and personal finance.
These classes and many more are available at fees ranging from $32.50 to $65, ranging in duration from three to 16 weeks. There is a one-time registration fee of $15 for credit classes. Classes begin in January, and continue throughout the spring.
