SAGE is Seasoned Adults Growing Educationally, a tuition-free program of stimulating courses for Maryland residents aged 60 and older. Classes take place in over 25 convenient, community-based venues throughout Prince George’s County.
Don’t age – SAGE! Studies have demonstrated that you’ve got to use it if you don’t want to lose it – both mentally and physically. SAGE classes are designed to help you do just that by keeping both mind and body active and engaged. The reasonable fee structure makes it financially possible to schedule the classes you desire, with only a $50 registration fee per trimester for Maryland residents who are 60 and older. (This registration fee covers an unlimited number of classes which are state-approved and have no time conflicts. All other fees, e.g. lab, computer and supplies are not included)
