Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning, Educational institute for seniors in San Francisco, United States

The Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning occupies Fromm Hall at the University of San Francisco, a building renamed for Hanna and Alfred Fromm on October 24, 2003. The hall also houses USF's only all-female residence for 175 freshman and sophomore women, fine arts facilities, a women's institute, and the parish offices of St. Ignatius Church.

The institute was founded in 1976 by Hanna and Alfred Fromm, German refugees who came to the United States in 1936. Their vision established a model that other universities would later adopt for similar educational programs.

The institute offers courses in humanities, arts, and sciences where participants learn without grades or exams, creating space for people to gather driven by curiosity rather than achievement pressure. This approach shapes a community focused on intellectual growth for its own sake.

Classes run across several terms throughout the year, with each term lasting about eight weeks. It helps to check the course offerings ahead of time since the program changes regularly by term.

The institute served as the model for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes, which now operate at more than 120 universities across the United States. This network spread the concept of education for older adults across the country.
