Never stop learning: Continuing education in the Lowcountry
Kids across the country are settling into a new school year. Little minds are being nourished, intellect cultivated, and manners refined. At Nexton, we know learning doesn’t stop with reading, writing, and arithmetic. Luckily, opportunities for lifelong education abound in the Lowcountry. Below, some places and ways to keep growing your mind, soul, and body close to home.
Dorchester County Adult Education Program- This program aims to partner with school districts, local business and industries, and the community to develop lifelong learners. The fall 2017 line-up is as varied as it is interesting. Try Sweetgrass Basket Weaving to cultivate a new hobby, and even make a special gift for a friend.
