Back to School is Not Just for Kids

The Scarsdale Adult School is now accepting registration for fall classes and with more than 230 choices this semester, there is something for everyone!

SAS is pleased to introduce brand new classes in SAT preparation, speed reading, how to get a push button memory, parent and child cooking, playing the sitar, Bollywood dance, Nia technique, Alexander technique, tarot readings, and crossword puzzles. Expanding the computer offerings, the catalog now includes courses on making sense of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr, professional networking on LinkedIn, and improving productivity and collaboration with the Google Suite of free applications.

The SAS faculty includes many talented professionals such as Maureen Amaturo, Marnie Gelfman, and Mary Parravani, who also teach children (maybe even your own!) in local after school clubs. Or visit one of your favorite local establishments when you take a dessert-themed course from Maria Valente, owner of Chocolations on the Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck. Plan an adult girls’ or boys’ night out for wine tasting at Vintology Wine and Spirits, located on Palmer Avenue in Scarsdale. Set aside time for a date night and take a virtual tour of the most famous wine producing regions of the world with Tony Russo and Andrea Kish, owners of Aries Wines and Spirits on the White Plains Post Road. Tango your way through Argentina with Kathy Cressent and Carlos Sampelayo (singles are welcome!). Learn how to create beautiful flower arrangements for your home entertaining from Mary Ann Amodio of Amodio’s Flower Shop. Sign up for one of many great yoga classes from Char Daigle, owner of Yoga Station in Hartsdale or improve your health and nutrition with a holistic class from Stephanie Filardi, co-owner and founder of Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary.

The adult school continues to offer digital photography, games galore such as bridge, mah jongg, and canasta, fitness instruction in yoga, body sculpting, qigong, belly dancing, and zumba, as well as many great courses in history, fine arts, architecture, film, literature, foreign languages, and more.
