What you would teach

Be specific. “Constitutional interpretation, ages 15–18, semester” tells us more than “history”.

Primary subject

Proposed course title

What students would read

Primary sources wherever possible. Tell us the actual texts.

How you would handle criticism of your subject

This is the question we weigh most heavily. Who are the serious critics, and how do students encounter them?

Agreements

I understand I will complete identity verification and a background check before meeting any student.

I agree never to communicate privately with a minor outside the platform, and understand all messages are visible to guardians.

I agree to distinguish claims, arguments, evidence, opinion and historical fact in my teaching, and to present criticism honestly.

I understand candidate campaigning, electioneering, campaign fundraising and political organizing are prohibited in all Lyceum classes.

Odysseus Lyceum does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, national origin, disability, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law.
