From account to transcript
A parent account, children as profiles beneath it, a catalog that answers in your child's terms, and a record that quietly builds itself while they learn.
The whole path
- 01
Create a parent account
You hold the account. Add each child as a profile with an age, grade, and time zone of their own, then invite up to five more guardians with the exact permissions you choose.
- 02
Choose a child, then browse
Select which child you are shopping for and the catalog shows only what fits them: appropriate ages and grades, prerequisite status, and every meeting time already converted to your time zone.
- 03
Enroll and pay
Pick a section, apply family points or a scholarship award, and confirm. Free classes, one-time classes, semester courses, and year-long seminars all enroll the same way.
- 04
Show up live
Your student joins from inside the Lyceum with one button, never a raw meeting link. Attending live earns full credit and Lyceum Points; the recording is there if a week goes sideways.
- 05
Watch the record build
Attendance, assignments, grades, and instructional hours accumulate quietly in the background. When you need a transcript, you generate it yourself as a finished PDF.
Six time zones, one table
A seminar here seats a girl in rural Montana beside a boy in suburban Atlanta and a student on a base in Alaska. That is the whole reason to teach this way, and it only works if the clock never gets in the way.
Every parent, child, and teacher sets their own zone once. After that every schedule, calendar, reminder and receipt is written in their local time, daylight saving included. Nobody in your family ever converts anything, and nobody misses a class because November moved the hour.

One button. Never a raw link.
The Lyceum owns the video infrastructure. Instructors never buy their own, and students never receive a meeting link by email.
Join from inside
A Join Class button appears on the student home, the class page, and the calendar entry as the meeting approaches. That is the only way in. No forwarded links, no password sharing.
Attendance syncs back
When the meeting ends, attendance flows into the record automatically and splits into attended live versus recording viewed. Nobody types it in.
Waiting rooms and substitutes
Recurring meetings, waiting rooms, passwords, substitutions, cancellations and reschedules are all handled by the platform, and every change reaches families in their own zone.
Eight ways a class can be shaped
Free, paid, or reward-unlocked. Every format shows its length, its meeting count, and its total before you enroll.
- One-time class
- A single live meeting on a single subject.
- Multi-week course
- Four to eight meetings on a defined topic.
- Semester course
- A full term with graded work and transcript hours.
- Year-long course
- Two terms, deep coverage, real credit.
- Book seminar
- One serious book, read whole, discussed weekly.
- Ongoing club
- A recurring live community with no end date.
- Private lesson
- One instructor, one student, scheduled directly.
- Workshop
- A short intensive built around making something.
Priced by the meeting
Every Lyceum class is thirty, forty-five, or sixty minutes, and each length has one flat price. Multiply by the number of meetings and you have the tuition. There is no term fee, no platform fee, and no membership.
- 30 minutes
- $6
- Skills practice and younger students
- 45 minutes
- $7
- Logic, writing, and most workshops
- 60 minutes
- $8
- Discussion seminars and semester courses
Siblings pay 60% off
The first child in a class pays full tuition. Every brother or sister pays sixty percent less for that class, automatically, with nothing to claim. Three siblings in the same $48 course come to $86, not $144.
Tuition is billed weekly by default, one charge the morning of each meeting, so starting a class never means putting a whole term on a card. Pay the course in full instead and it is ten percent less.
And the sibling rate does not expire. Your oldest takes a class at fourteen; the youngest is seven and nowhere near ready for it. Seven years later she is, and she still pays the family rate. It attaches to your account and to the course, not to a term, so a family that has been here a while pays less and less as the younger ones grow into what the older ones already took.
