We offer Educational Programs for all self-motived adults. 600-900 courses per term in a wide variety of subjects: art, music, writing, literature, languages, dance, exercise, yoga and medidation, social issues, computers, and many more. We are a private non-profit organization that has been in Harvard Square for 125 years, and have one of the most innovative and extensive programs in the country.

Our interactive and energizing learning promotes individual growth and connection with the local and world communities. You are encouraged to learn in your own way and at your own pace, and to profit from the experiences and perspectives of your fellow class members.

Our faculty are experts in their fields, but they are more concerned with facilitating the learning of their students than with exhibiting their own learning.

The Center also offers readings, performances, exhibitions, conferences, and other special events. See our web site at ccae.org, or our catalog (call 617-547-6789) for a full listing of programs.
