Curriculum

The Lyceum Academy teaches all courses in an interdisciplinary manner. The courses that we offer have been carefully selected to fulfill high school graduation requirements as well as provide a well-rounded, solid foundation on which to begin a positive college experience. For Pre-Lyceum, our students take 2-3 courses that will occupy one block for both semesters. In Lyceum students will take 4 courses, 1 year in length, from each of the academic areas. This allows students to take up to 4 additional classes each year as electives.
