New Curiosity Shop Online Courses
The New Curiosity Shop provides online courses in a wide range
of topics. We encourage learning for the pleasure of learning,
and our short courses are designed to stimulate thinking,
provoke questions and provide opportunities for our students
to explore ideas. We work in partnership with tutors to develop
courses and support students. We believe learning is a social
experience – even online. It’s “online learning
with the personal touch.”
