Our October Encore cohort just touched down in Barcelona, and the energy is already electric. ✨ For the next month, this group of lifelong learners will be calling the city home, trading sightseeing for something deeper: Spanish classes, art history walks, and the kind of slow, immersive days that let you actually live somewhere instead of just visiting it.

This is what study abroad at 55+ looks like. No rush, no checklist, just real learning and real connection.

Spring 2027 cohorts in Barcelona, Florence, and Istanbul are open for enrollment, and right now we're offering $1,000 off flights for anyone who confirms their spot before Oct 16th.
