BROOKLYN LIFELONG LEARNING, formerly The Institute for Retirees in Pursuit of Education

For adults who never stop experiencing life, there is a place and community that celebrates learning. We invite you to join us.

If you enjoy exploring new ideas and acquiring new knowledge or skills in the company of friendly people, the Brooklyn Lifelong Learning (BLL) is for you. At BLL you can take as many courses as you want in art, literature, philosophy, history and more — with no exams or homework. Take workshops in painting, foreign languages, computers, memoir writing or poetry. Practice tai chi or yoga. Attend special lectures and film showings. Play bridge. Use the college library and computer facilities. Go on trips. It may well be the most fun you ever had in school.
