What Our Members Say About Us
You have obtained and earned wisdom over a lifetime. Come share it with an interesting and interested set of people and learn something new, too! It has sure worked for me.
Bart M., Beacon Hill
When I retired I wanted to keep learning and do something social at the same time. BHS has provided that opportunity. I’ve been excited by the courses, impressed by the knowledge of the Group Leaders, and have made many friends. Each semester, I can hardly wait for the new course catalogue. BHS is one of the joys of living Boston.
