EXPLORATORY STUDIES

​The Center for Exploratory Studies (CES) - a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation - was founded in 1981 by Herman Matthews. He has served as the Center's Executive Director since its inception. After leaving academia a few years earlier to explore both the intellectual and experiential aspects of life, Herman founded the Center as an organization engaged in creating programs, workshops, seminars and experiences that facilitate a fuller participation in the life process. Over the years, programs, studies and projects developed under the auspices of CES have been diverse in nature and have been designed to enhance the learning process for both children and adults.
