Registration for Bronxville Adult School Now Under Way

Aug. 13, 2014:  September is the beginning of a new school year for everyone, kids and adults alike. For adults, the Bronxville Adult School is the place to be.

Registration is open now. Catalogues have been mailed to residents of Bronxville and surrounding areas, and registration is open online as well at https://www.bronxvilleadultschool.org/.

Classes begin on September 6. There are many new ones to whet your appetite. Among those coming up soon are:

Brand-New to Bronxville? If you could use help navigating the area, this class is for you. It will offer information about which restaurants do home deliveries, local pediatricians, dentists, and dog parks. Also covered are kids' activities, preschool information, gyms, classes, and much more. In short, Bronxville will be demystified for recent arrivals or returnees who have been away for a while. The class date is Friday, September 19 at 9:30 am.

9/11 Memorial Museum. On Monday, September 15, this trip will explore the country's principal institution focused on the implications of the events of 9/11 and their continuing significance. There will be a guided tour of the museum plus time to explore both the museum and the outdoor 9/11 Memorial as well. Lunch is included at a local restaurant, the Palm-Tribeca.

Kykuit: The Rockefeller Estate & Washington Irving's Sunnyside. Two gems of the Hudson River Valley will be explored on this trip--and there is a discount if you register by September 5. Four generations of the Rockefeller families lived on the beautiful hilltop at Kykuit, which is known for its architecture, lovely gardens, art, history, and spectacular scenery. Lunch will be at Sunset Cove, where you will enjoy spectacular views of the Hudson. Next, tour Sunnyside, home of Washington Irving, best known for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Learn about his storied past and how he became America's first internationally famous author.

There are many more classes coming up soon, from films to fitness, so be sure to read the catalogue you've already received or the one that is online.
