Back to school for children and adults!

There is  a  "back to school" feeling around Nyon at the moment, as "La Rentrée" - the return to school for state school children began last week and it will soon be the same for children attending private schools.  For adults wanting to go back to "school" themselves, there are further education options available in Nyon with classes through Migros Ecole (the classrooms and the reception are  just below La Combe shopping centre).  Their brochure for 2010/2011 lists courses from French to Cooking  to I.T  e.g (Power point, Photoshop) to dancing Rock and Roll. They also run some courses in English, such as drawing and painting, art history, and "exploring wine tasting". See website for more info. If you are interested in learning music then the Conservatoire of Nyon (on the lake side) opens its doors this week for  "organisation and registration" and its courses officially start next week. The Conservatoire has an excellent reputation for its teaching of adults of children and adults in a wide range of musical activities from jazz workshops to learning guitar, flute, piano, harp, trumpet. The Conservatoire also organises Sunday afternoon classical and jazz concerts fot the public.  See their website for full listings and you can read more about it her in a previous post on Living in Nyon.  Photo above  - a concert at the Conservatoire of Nyon.
