It’s Back to School Time!
Road Scholar’s Adventures Online are a revolutionary way to learn about and explore the world without leaving home. Led by expert instructors, these multi-day programs include online field trips and interaction with your instructor and fellow Road Scholars.
Summer is coming to an end and the days are getting shorter. The back-to-school season is upon us once again. This time of year brings back memories of new shoes, haircuts and the excitement of our first day back in class with friends.
The season isn't just for students in primary and secondary schools — it's an opportunity for everyone to embrace a fresh start filled with the promise of new discoveries. With Road Scholar’s Adventures Online, you can begin the new school year from the comfort of your home. Join expert instructors and fellow participants online for live, multi-day programs exploring different topics around the world.
Something for Everyone
Spanning three to five days, these immersive experiences will transport you to France, London, Morocco, the Arctic Circle, Edinburgh, Turkey, Croatia and Peru, among other fascinating destinations worldwide, to learn and engage with others from home! Whether you're interested in brushing up on your history, exploring the world of science, or studying art, Road Scholar’s Adventures Online offer something for everyone.
Here are just a few Adventures Online options…
Is your passion art and history? Enroll in Adventures Online: The Art & History of Paris, where you’ll “go inside” Sainte Chapelle, discover Notre Dame Cathedral and stroll through Saint Germain, La Sorbonne and Montmartre. Or, explore the sights and sounds of Marrakech, Rabat and Ouzaaane in Adventures Online: The Colors & Contrasts of Morocco.
If getting to know a penguin colony in Antarctica is on your wish list, Adventures Online: Go Beyond the Ice in Antarctica will exceed your expectations! You’ll “travel” by a Zodiac inflatable tender boat to Arctowski Base, followed by a meet and greet with nearby penguins. You’ll also learn about the evolution, adaptations and daily lives of one of the hardiest and cutest inhabitants of Antarctica — the seals.
Are you interested in learning how to manage and store your photos in a thoughtful and organized manner? We offer a three-day Adventures Online: An Introduction to Adobe Lightroom with photography instructor Mason Marsh. If photographing wildlife and natural wonders sounds intriguing, Mason also teaches Adventures Online: Outdoor Photography: Landscape, Wildlife and Nature.
