classical catholic education in cleveland, ohio
our mission and philosophy

The Lyceum is a coeducational, college preparatory school dedicated to providing a classical Catholic education to students in grades seven through twelve.

Our program is unique in that it combines academic standards that can compete with other prestigious private schools with a serious emphasis on knowing and living our Catholic faith and culture that is almost non-existent in many of today's Catholic schools.

We believe that every student deserves a one-on-one encounter with the greatest minds that have ever lived. From the study of Euclid's Elements to the Federalist Papers, Lyceum students are immersed in the perennial ideas at the very core of western civilization.

This is classical Catholic education.
This is academic excellence, right here in Cleveland.   Learn more...

Socratic Learning and Seminar Discussion Small Classes, Individual Attention

We stand by the principle that a student needs to be actively engaged in the formation of his own intellect, and that this is best accomplished by means of directed discussion among one's own peers about a shared text. Students grappling among themselves with the words of the greatest authors in a lively seminar is a far more effective tool for training the mind than students passively listening to a lecture on that same text filtered through the words of even a very wise professor.

We are one of a growing number of schools nationwide that aim to provide a classical Catholic education with a low student to teacher ratio. Small classes allow each student to be heard in discussion, and to be held accountable for his own work. The Lyceum does not intend to grow beyond 75 students.
