Who are our instructors?

April 1, 2020
The Grand Learning office is closed until at least May 1. We will be responding to emails, but not to phone calls. Our Summer 2020 schedule is on hold...and not looking promising. Stay tuned.

​March 13, 2020
IF you were scheduled for a Grand Learning class after March 13:
We tried to reschedule the April classes into May, but it doesn’t seem that will work out. All Grand Learning classes are cancelled for Spring 2020. Your choices are as follows:

If you class is being re-offered in the Fall (I have already had commitments to Federalist Papers, Diego Rivera, and Baroque Art for example) we will give you priority for those classes and enroll you in the class before regular registration starts. If those new dates won’t work for you, we’ll process a credit or refund at that time.

If your class has already had some sessions, we will prorate your compensation (Ex: If two classes of four have been held, you’ll get half the class fee.)

If you want a refund: we will ask CAM to process a check. Understand there will be a lot of checks to process, so it may take several weeks. If you request a check, please give us the address where you want us to send it. If we don’t have an address, we will issue a credit to your account.
​
We will be contacting you to see what you want us to for your account. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work through this disruption.

Classes Cancelled:
The Sun City Grand Board of Directors has voted to close the enclosed Grand facilities including Grand Learning starting on March 13 at 10 pm and continuing until May 1. Open air activities (golf, tennis, softball, etc.) will continue to be available.

We do not know yet how the cancellation process will work, we are waiting on direction from the Board and CAM staff.

We will miss seeing all of you, and hope that you all remain healthy until we do see you again.

Thanks,

​​ ​Sample Student registration

Studies show that along with physical exercise, a program of continued learning is key to maintaining a high quality of life. The purpose of SCG CAM's Grand Learning is to bring intellectual enrichment and well-being to Sun City Grand residents through active learning activities. Benefits include stimulating your curiosity, engaging your mind, and building new friendships. Courses on a variety of topics are offered including history, art, music, geography, current events, religion, science and more. You can explore your favorite subjects or discover new areas of interest.

​Grand Learning Expectations:
Students will:
      Put cell phones on vibrate
      No sidebar conversations
      No interruptions- wait to be acknowledged
      Treat all with respect 
      Share the floor

---

Remember to watch for your e-mail confirmation and e-mail reminder about your class. If you don't get them, your registration may not have gone through. Always look for "$0" Balance Due on invoice to show your payment processed. The most common reason for not processing are typos when you enter your credit card information. Look for red print explaining why it didn't process.

Classroom temps vary - 
             be comfortable and layer! 
​
Grand Learning adheres to the Sun City Grand CAM no-refund policy to issue credits toward future classes if a student cancels at least 48 hours prior to the class.

If you have Magic Jack, we cannot call you...our phones do not clear your Caller ID system. Please give us a number where we can reach you (we want you to get that wait-listed class and may not have enough time for an e-mail exchange!)
