Classes designed specifically for those ages 50 and above who want to learn for the pure enjoyment of learning.

We hope changing conditions will enable us to return to in-classroom sessions that meet the needs of both COD and LIR. However, all of out winter classes (2022) offered will be on Zoom.
We will continue to offer reduced Covid pricing for this 2021-22 academic year. You can take up to five courses for only $45 per term. That works out to just $1.50 per session-the same as a hot dog and Pepsi at Costco
LIR will be back again with wonderful classes led by passionate instructors who will enlighten, inspire, engage, inform and entertain.
Testimonials From LIR Participants
As snowbirds from Chicago for many years, one of our most highly anticipated activities is our participation in various LIR classes. We can’t recommend this program more enthusiastically!
Not only does LIR offer you superb learning, but in the classes you meet some of the most personable, bright and engaging people in the desert area.
The LIR program has become a very important part of my life. I have had wonderful exposure to a world of knowledge and ideas. And indeed, my mind feels more alive and vibrant than before I started.
