About
2001 to 2021
Established in 2001, the Institute for Adult Learning began as an affiliate of Road Scholar, a program comprised of over 300 independent community-based organizations who shared a love of learning and a desire for sociability.
In August 2021, IAL Council Members began meeting to discuss the possibility of revitalizing the very successful IAL program that had been hosted at Chesapeake College. The support from our past members and friends for reviving the IAL far exceeded our expectations!
2022 to Today
For Spring semester 2022, we'd reorganized as a component fund of the Mid-Shore Community Foundation, rented space at the Kennard African American Cultural Heritage Center, and developed a course curriculum.
Today, the Institute for Adult Learning continues to enrich the lives of adults in the Mid-Shore area with dynamic classes and engaging social events.
To be sure, our story is a labor of love. The strength and vitality of the IAL is a combination of the collective passion and focus of the governing Council and the collective passion and support of our members and instructors.
We commit to a diverse curriculum; courses and social events designed to enrich the lives of members.
