Program

Rigorous Education, Flexible Access

The Lyceum Institute program includes structured courses in the Trivium, Latin, and Greek, as well as a wide range of studies in philosophy: from introductory courses for novices to advanced offerings at a graduate level. Additionally, we have a community which brings us together in frequent, informal discussion; a growing set of reading circles; and much more, including an ever-growing archive of asynchronous courses available to all members.

Additionally, all members are encouraged to participate in colloquia and symposia, which invite academics and intellectuals from both outside and inside the Lyceum Institute to present on topics both philosophical and literary.

Access to the Trivium and Language Foundation courses are included for all members, while philosophy seminars are available for a reduced fee—with some included in Advanced (3) and Premium (8) enrollments—and offered four times a year. As we grow in the coming years, new offerings will be gradually and organically added as they are revealed to be fitting and the time to be opportune.

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.

This year (2026), we are seeking to raise $48,000
