Bay View’s Education Program

Bay View’s Education Program enables students of all ages to make learning a lifelong pursuit. We host a diverse array of classes, lectures, films, group discussions, special events and performances. Educational activities begin in May and end in October, with most events scheduled during the 8-week Assembly Season from mid-June to mid-August. All classes and events are open to the public, and many are free of charge.

Curricular areas include culinary arts, health and wellness, fine arts and crafts, book clubs, current events discussion groups, kids’ classes, and our new multi-disciplinary offerings which combine two or more program areas such as Education + Performing Arts.

 

Note: courses may be dropped for a full refund up to three business days before the start of the first session. For art, craft, or food classes, up to seven business days before the first session.
