Shoreline Institute of Life Long Learning (SILL)

Our primary mission is to offer meaningful intellectual programs to retired and semi-retired citizens of Guilford and Madison, who share a love of learning. However, membership is open to all adults who would enjoy a few hours of intellectual stimulation and socializing. Interested residents from other communities are also welcome.

Affiliated with the Elderhostel Institute Network, we offer daytime academic programs designed to suit varied interests. All instructors and team leaders are unpaid volunteers. Our objective is to offer college level classes without concern for credit, grades, or prerequisites. No previous level of high school or college education is required. All we require is your interest and enthusiasm.
