Community Colleges of Spokane Summer Classes

You could spend the summer lolling in a hammock, drinking iced tea and lazily waving away flies.

You could spend it pushing a lawnmower, or pulling weeds that will just be back next year.

Or you could learn to make a ceramic pot, speak Spanish, dance at a wedding, and pick out the perfect white wine for phad thai, which you’ve just learned how to cook.

For the industrious among us, the Institute for Extended Learning is starting its summer classes today.

You can reserve a spot by calling the registration office at 279-6000. Students must register a week before the class starts.
