It’s Always Great to Learn Something New

Lifelong Learning Programs

Why are lifelong learning and senior education such distinctive features of The Village at Brookwood lifestyle? Because intellectual growth is key to maintaining one’s well-being and happiness. It’s a whole lot of fun, too!

Every week, you’ll have the chance to expand your mind through a wide array of multifaceted opportunities like stimulating book clubs and reading groups, trips to community cultural events, museums and music concerts held in Burlington, NC, and beyond.

Our residents also love attending the numerous guest speaking engagements at nearby Elon University. Such notable speakers in the past have included Colin Powell, Jane Goodman and Desmond Tutu.
