The Saint Maur Adult Enrichment Program, founded in 1992 by Miss Jeanette Thomas, present Head of School Emerita, consists of various classes, tours and excursions offered on a volunteer basis by parents who have children enrolled at Saint Maur, as well as by volunteers from the outside community. The program provides opportunities for fostering new friendships and developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of cultural and religious differences. The shared experiences provided by the program help participants to recognize the role they play as contributing members of a rapidly growing global community, while clearly demonstrating to our children that education should always remain an important life-long pursuit.
Parents who have children enrolled at Saint Maur are encouraged to freely join any of the various classes/activities/tours offered each year. Parents, whose children do not attend Saint Maur, may participate provided they are willing to reciprocate by contributing to our Adult Enrichment Program by offering, on a volunteer basis, a class, an activity, a tour, or an excursion. Arrangements can be made by contacting the Adult Enrichment Program Director.
Adult Enrichment classes on offer range from computers to cooking, crafts and conversation (French, Spanish, English, Mandarin, and Japanese), as well as a Book Club, seminars on nutrition and faith, training and certification in first-aid, and classes introducing aspects of Japanese culture, such as aikido, ikebana, shodo, sumie, origami, washi doll-making, kimono-dressing, and tea ceremony. Other classes include music, fitness, volleyball, knitting, and porcelain painting, not to mention various half-day tours and excursions offered throughout the year.
There is no charge to participate in any of the Adult Enrichment classes; however, where applicable, a small fee may be charged to cover the cost of materials, such as flowers for Ikebana classes, paper for origami/craft classes, ingredients for cooking classes, and so on.
If you are interested in offering a class, taking a class, or have any questions about the Adult Enrichment Program, please contact:
