“educare aeternum”
The Lyceum is a collaborative, student-run database aiming to connect K-12 teachers and students with educational resources in the humanities. We are dedicated to making the humanities more important, accessible, and powerful for everyone.

English and Creative Writing
The words of a story can echo one’s innermost experiences in a way few other art forms can. As teachers and educators, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the complexities of building a classroom library, or even selecting books for one’s curriculum, especially in this age of book banning and censorship. Yet, curating a collection of books that truly mirrors the world is crucial to a student’s development: books can make them feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Sometimes, you just need to open a new page.
Art History
As educators and scholars, we fight to keep art history relevant to the students of today. But in an world of artificially generated images and decreasing interest in the ‘archaisms’ of artwork, do we ever stop to ask what makes art worth fighting for? The answer: learning about art tells us about ourselves in the past, present, and future. With the right resources, students can see that, too.
Founded by student members of the National Humanities Leadership Council, the Lyceum responds to the growing concern of humanities defunding across American education.
