Situated at the foot of the Rincon Mountains on the eastern edge of Tucson, the Arizona Senior Academy (ASA) was established to insure that active engagement with civic life, intellectual stimulation and cultural enrichment could continue throughout our (un-) retirement.
Our weekly concerts feature world-class musicians, while twice-weekly lectures keep us current on the widest possible range of topics. The Academy also encourages individual and group outreach efforts allowing us to share our time and talents for the greater good. The Academy is supported by the residents of The Academy Village, an active adult community; and from donations from the public. To learn more about Academy Village, click here.
