Classes & Education
For more than five years, the North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE) has provided educational services to Leisure World residents. The academic emeritus program has an accredited faculty and curriculum. Emeritus classes promote lifelong learning by helping people grow in independence, advocacy, physical and cognitive health, financial literacy, and community engagement.
Improve mental wellbeing, maintain physical wellness, or simply learn a new hobby. Emeritus classes make it achievable.
