Welcome to the Pawleys Island/Litchfield SC CLASS website!

CLASS (Community Learning About Special Subjects) is in its 11th year of providing adults with courses taught by talented instructors in a casual environment for the pure joy of learning. The CLASS office, along with Art Works and the Moveable Feast, is located inside the Chocolate & Coffee House in the Litchfield Exchange, two miles south of Brookgreen Gardens, just behind Applewood's.

Among the courses offered for the fall of 2009 are Tai Chi (beginning and continuing) with Liz Hileman and Robbie Renken, Metaphysical Journeys with Gloriana and Craig Miller, Memory Mondays (scrapbooking) with Pricilla Keefer, an Island Time Retreat with Lee Brockington in November, Gloria Perkins' Oil Painting Workshop in August and Fridays' Moveable Feasts, literary luncheons featuring exciting authors at area restaurants.

In addition, registration for several personal growth and health & wellness courses are offered, including MyGroup with Lisa Rosof, The Enneagram (Path to Our Beloved Self) with Carol Anderson, Hatha Yoga with Angela Jones, and Classical Pilates for Beginners, Improve Your Golf with Pilates and Pilates for MEN! with Sandy Goodin. Each of these is held in a suitably equipped environment.

Each of the four terms is approximately 8 weeks long, however individual courses are scheduled for varying durations, depending on the subject's needs.
