Announcing the Lyceum Institute‘s plan for building its future and the future model of education. Dear friends, supporters of the Lyceum, and believers in the importance of genuine human education: I am thrilled, though not without a little trepidation, to announce the next major step in the development of the Lyceum Institute: the establishment of […]
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.
