From History of Ancient Rome to Basics of Home Repair and Intro to Birding, Lone Star College System’s Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) offers courses appealing to countless interests. The program caters to community members age 50 and older, providing low-cost access to education, hands-on activities and new friendships.
“I have enjoyed the ALL courses tremendously, especially those that I have been able to attend remotely. I enjoy meeting other people and sharing ideas as well as learning new things,” said Frank Imburgio, LSC-Montgomery ALL member. “Some of the highlights are a discussion course on current events, a class on propaganda and a film appreciation course. It is a tremendous resource that I am happy to support as a taxpayer. Thank you to all the people who share so much of themselves by teaching the courses.”
Members can take up new hobbies and stay active through courses like Competitive Chair Volleyball, Intermediate Ceramics, Concert Choir, Tai Chi for Beginners and French Cooking. Informative sessions, such as Travel on a Budget and Smart AI Skills for Seniors, offer practical tips, and more niche topics include Intro to Narrative Writing and Backyard Chicken Farming.
Those interested in becoming a member can learn more about the program at a series of open house events highlighting upcoming courses. ALL representatives will be available to answer questions and assist with registration.

It’s just a wonderful program.”
