Adult Learners Institute of Chelsea, Michigan

Winter/Spring 2012

ALI, a non-profit organization in Chelsea, MI, is planning a wide range of educational courses to meet the interests and requests of our adult learners for the winter/spring term which goes from February through May 2012. As always, our experienced instructors create a relaxed learning environment where students can ask questions, share experiences or just sit and listen. And there is no homework!

We have many fun courses this semester. If you are a history buff, look at U.S. Grant's Civil War: the Western Theater. If you ever thought of writing, see The Art of Writing: Fiction and Non-Fiction See the Winter/Spring Courses page for a list of our courses as well as printable copies of the registration form and catalog.

This semester, all registrations will be MAIL-IN ONLY and will be processed based on the date they are received at the ALI office. Confirmation slips will be mailed before classes start. Preregistration is required for all ALI classes. There will be no Kick Off meeting this semester.

Catalogs are also available at the ALI office at 809 West Middle St., the Chelsea Senior Center, the front desk at CRC, Silver Maples and the Cedars of Dexter, the Chelsea District Library, the information desk at the Chelsea Community Hospital and the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce.
