What's New

Spring is the time to experience learning in a new way at the Presidents' College.

Enjoy education for what it is—the acquiring and sharing of knowledge while cultivating curiosity. We invite you to exercise your brain this new year through our upcoming semester of courses and lectures. And don't worry, there will not be any exams or term papers!

Spring courses and registration coming to our website early 2025.
