The Program
The Lyceum Academy is composed of 100 students in the Senior Class, and 100 students in the Junior Class. These are selected through an application and interview process, the latter of which is sometimes conducted with the aide of graduating Academy members.
The program meets at 7:30 am Monday through Friday, but weekend obligations can sometimes be required.
The Lyceum Academy is often cited as the prime example of integrated education. The Lyceum Academy teaches in all four of the primary subjects: English, Math, Social Studies and Science. All projects assigned to the students are designed such that a mastery of all four subjects is necessary for a decent grade. The midterm required of the Junior academy members, for example, involves creating an individual from the 1800s and explaining how all four subjects had a major impact on their lives.
On the various excursions that the Academy members participate in, the teachers will incorporate their fields of expertise. This might include seeing a Shakespearean play, cataloging wildlife, visiting the capital, or doing regression analysis of graveyard data.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
