Clubs
Ongoing live communities that meet on a recurring schedule, a reason to stay in the Lyceum for years rather than for a semester. Some are free, some are a few dollars a month, all of them are moderated.
Find your people
Clubs run on the same infrastructure as classes: recurring meetings you join from inside the Lyceum, a club board for between meetings, and full guardian visibility on everything involving a child.

The Homeschool Hangout
Fridays · 1 PM ET · 45 min

The Tolkien Society
Sundays · 4 PM ET · 60 min
A slow, joyful walk through Middle-earth: the legendarium, the languages, the letters, and the Catholic imagination underneath all of it.

Young Entrepreneurs
Every other Monday · 5 PM ET · 60 min
Members bring a real venture, whether a lawn service, an Etsy shop, or a tutoring business, and workshop pricing, customers, and cash flow with each other in front of an instructor.

Not a social feed
Club boards are structured discussion and resources, moderated by the instructor. There is no follower count, no algorithm, and no unrestricted messaging between students.
Guardians see everything
Every post, reply and attachment involving a child is visible to their authorized guardians, exactly as it is in a course.
Propose a club
Families and instructors both propose clubs. If eight students want to read Chesterton on Sunday afternoons, we will find someone to lead it.
Join a club
Most of them are free.
Create a parent account, add your children, and they can be in the Great Books Club by Thursday.
