SSILL

The Schiller Shoreline Institute for Lifelong Learning offers intellectual programs to retired and semi-retired citizens of Guilford and Madison, who share a love of learning and passion for expanding their knowledge base. Membership is open to all adults looking to enjoy a few hours of intellectual stimulation and social interaction. Residents from other communities who are interested are also welcome to attend.

Affiliated with the Road Scholar, we offer daytime academic programs designed to suit varied interests. Instructors and team leaders are all unpaid volunteers. The SILL 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 that is asked for is your interest and enthusiasm! For more information visit www.ssill.org.
