School of Seniors (60teen) is the world's first scientifically designed school for the elders.
The School of Seniors operates based on a specially designed anti-ageing intervention program called 60teen, which helps improve the quality of ageing by controlling many of the complications of ageing such as memory loss. 60teen has been developed by the experts of the Sports & Management Research Institute (SMRI) under the leadership of Sports Management and Sports Psychology experts Sijin BT, Mridhula B Pai and Nimra Zakir Hussain.
60teen enhances the quality of ageing through various activities such as learning new languages, arts and subjects and by being involved in sports, senior internships and research. 60teen employs a variety of creative and adventurous academic and non-academic activities to manage the mental, physical and cognitive problems that occur due to ageing. School of Seniors is also a social networking system to support seniors in achieving their unfulfilled dreams. Seniors will get the services of psychologists, nutritionists, beauticians, fashion designers and financial planners from the School of Seniors.
Every year, the participants will get a Senior Diploma in a new interesting subject till they leave learning.
