re-thinking learning

Learning is almost universally recognized as a desirable good—but do we truly know what it means to learn? Have we accepted a false paradigm of education?

We at the Lyceum aim to challenge this paradigm and pursue a better, and more human, way of seeking education.

highlighted programs

Language

In an age saturated with communication, good thinking demands a certain mastery of language. With our extensive program in the Trivium and in Classical Languages, we provide this oft-neglected core of education.

PHILOSOPHY

The intellectual life requires habits of questioning—the desire to examine life’s meaning, to confront its difficulties with equanimity and honest. We strive at the Lyceum to cultivate these habits and to approach inquiry with both rigor and flexibility.

Our Faculty strive to guide members in developing the habits of an intellectual life. Each brings insight and dedication to teaching in every class and conversation.

Beyond the University

Beyond the University exists because the modern university, even where it succeeds, has become inadequate to the true tasks of education.  Education is not the transmission of information or preparation for employment, but the formation of good intellectual habits.  These aims no longer fit comfortably within institutions ordered primarily toward efficiency, expansion, and measurable outcomes.  The Lyceum Institute was founded to provide a genuinely different institutional form—one ordered toward education as an integral part of life rather than as a credentialing process.

The Lyceum cultivates enduring intellectual habits of inquiry, order, and memory through rigorous seminars, focused studies of the Trivium, classical languages, guided reading, and sustained inquisitive conversation.  By supporting the Lyceum Institute, you help sustain an independent public institution devoted to education ordered toward truth, continuity, and long-term intellectual formation.  Your gift ensures that this alternative remains available—not only for today’s students, but for generations to come.
