![]() Catholic Classical Education The Lyceum's course of studies is based on the classical understanding of the liberal arts: the Trivium of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, which are the arts of the mind and language, and the Quadrivium of Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, and Music - the sciences and mathematics which are the arts of matter and quantity. All students study Latin, Greek, and music theory, sing in The Lyceum Schola Cantorum, and all participate in the athletic program, the visual arts program and the drama program, which stages two plays a year -- one Shakespeare and one Greek. Our fixed curriculum places a unique emphasis on the intellectual skills and habits that prepare a student for life-long learning. The first two years concentrate on the grammar of the subjects: their structure and objective characteristics. The middle years emphasize the logic or relationships of these characteristics. The final two years bring out the student's creative and synthetic capabilities through the art of rhetoric, leading him to master and communicate what he has learned. Lyceum students are immersed in the perennial ideas at the very core of Western Civilization, and will, as Newton says, see further because they "stand on the shoulders of the intellectual giants of the past."
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE But the truth is that The Lyceum is what it claims to be. The Lyceum is accomplishing its mission, which is nothing more than authentic academic excellence. We do not use this phrase lightly. The Lyceum's unique program combines academic standards that can compete with other prestigious private schools with a serious emphasis on knowing and living our Catholic faith and culture - a culture that is almost non-existent in many of today's Catholic schools. We believe that every student deserves a Lyceum education: a one-on-one encounter with the greatest minds that have ever lived.see also...
