MASD Community Education

MASD Community Education program is committed to the unique partnership that exists between our community and school district. We connect citizens and resources, creating lifelong learning opportunities as individuals share their knowledge, skills, and interests with one another.

The program offers a variety of opportunities in a multitude of interest areas. Recreational learning and skill-based ventures are offered in areas ranging from arts & crafts to science, from foods to fitness.

AARP Smart Driver Course

The course is intended to help drivers live more independently as they age and remain safe on

today’s roads.

Although the course is geared toward drivers 50+, in most states it can be taken by licensed drivers

of all ages, and there are no tests. Additionally, course participants in most states may be eligible

to receive a state-mandated, multi-year discount on their auto insurance premiums. Some

insurance companies in many other states offer discounts at their own discretion. Participants

should contact their insurance company or agent for more details.

AARP Smart Driver Course Objectives

The AARP Smart Driver course covers defensive driving techniques and the normal changes in

vision, hearing, and reaction time associated with aging. The course also provides practical

techniques for adjusting to these changes to ensure the driver’s own safety and that of others on

the road. During the course, participants learn about current rules of the road and how to operate

their vehicles more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment.

Participant Cost

$20 for AARP members; $25 for non-members
