Spring Classes: Cultivate Curiosity

Spring Classes with "languages, art, job skills, boating, health" across the top. At the bottom are white and grey clouds, the Seattle Central logo and "register now"..

When was the last time you learned something just for fun? Don't let your brain get mushy or your spirit dampened -- easy to do in the rainy season with a constant onslaught of bad news.

This spring, we invite you to rediscover the joy of learning. Learning and new experiences are good for your brain and can lift your spirits. You can read about that topic on our blog and make a paper airplane while you're at it. 

From April through June, we are offering an exciting variety of classes for the public. You can register now for spring classes on Capitol Hill, at one of our satellite campuses, or online — with daytime and evening options.

Check out highlights below and tour around our website to see all topics and details. Enjoy some refreshing ideas and experiences this spring!
