The Lyceum is especially proud of our Schola Cantorum, or "singing school", which serves not only our own students, but also attracts home-schooled children and students from all around Cleveland. Every Wednesday, these students descend upon The Lyceum for their weekly practice. The Schola Cantorum now boasts a membership of almost 30, and they are a source of inspiration for those of us who are fortunate to hear them singing.
Every member of the school, both students and faculty, sings. The purpose of the Schola Cantorum is to foster a love for the treasury of sacred liturgical music and Gregorian chant. Giving children an acquaintance with beautiful liturgical music is a reward in itself and certainly in keeping with the wishes of our Holy Father.
Classical Catholic education seeks to dispose each person to be a fitting vessel for Divine Grace. Following the maxim that “grace builds on nature,” The Lyceum mission assumes that by acquiring the virtues that allow us to see and respond to beauty, students are disposed to the appreciation of Him who is Beauty itself.
