"Family Lyceum is the perfect blend of homeschooling and traditional classroom format for us. My kids love going. They love their friends, teachers, lessons, field trips, and activities. We love the parental involvement necessary and encouraged to run the school. This isn't a school to just send your kids to and never hear anything about, or be involved with, what they're learning or experiencing. This is a school to send your kids to if you want to, or are already, a homeschool family and you want your kids to have classroom experience as well. My kids have made wonderful friends. But they also are learning lots extra things that can be hard to get to in a homeschool curriculum. We love it, our kids love it, and we highly recommend." -Cassie

"I love the gentle, individual approach to learning.  I love the small class sizes.  I like the fact that these kids think it is COOL and FUN to be educated." -Celena 
"The weekly updates via Homefun emails are our favorite thing as a parents. Both my husband and I appreciate how transparent mentors are about what learning is taking place within the classroom. We love how much our children look forward to "school days". Family Lyceum takes some of the pressure off the backs of homeschooling parents and gives opportunities for homeschooling children to engage with peers that also have homeschooling backgrounds. We LOVE Family Lyceum!" -Janelle 

"An immersive learning environment- not just sitting at desks. [My student] learns so much from the plays about history and hands on science experiments! I love the wholesome atmosphere with no place for today's political agendas. Mrs. Shaffer is AMAZING for [my student]!! The field trips are so great as well." -Jaime
"We have loved Family Lyceum. We had been searching for an option like this for a long time and Family Lyceum has met that and more. The Mentors are so amazing and really care about each child. I love the smaller class sizes. My children are so happy attending Family Lyceum. Learning has been so fun this year and I love the support we get for our schooling." -Malia
"There are so many things I love about Family Lyceum. I love the history-based curriculum. The interactive history lessons that bring it to life for my child. The small classroom sizes. The individualized attention on my child’s level for writing, spelling and math. I love that we choose our math curriculum. I love the project/presentation experience.   I love that it starts at 9 and gets out at 2:30. I love the communication between school and family...is that everything?!?  Cuz we love everything 🤩" -Kristin

"We have been so impressed with Family Lyceum, it has been the perfect addition to balance our homeschool curriculum and has made my job as "homeschool mom" much easier. The school does an excellent job of engaging the students and maintaining their love of learning. The teachers are passionate and caring. Our children come home excited about what they've learned and have never said "I don't want to go to school today." We love the school's passion for history and their emphasis on a family read aloud. Family Lyceum excels at providing an additional learning and social environment that stokes our children's curiosity. We are so grateful we found Family Lyceum!" -Mallory
"I love the rich learning environment provided at Family Lyceum. My children leave each day with excitement about what they are learning and have increased interest in history, science, and literature. I appreciate the caring teachers and their interest in helping my children reach their individual potential." -Brenley
"I love the environment at Family Lyceum. The teachers genuinely love and care about the students. Students learn a lot more than they do in a traditional school environment because the classes are small and the school can hand-select inspiring and engaging curriculum instead of being forced to "teach to the test" and follow core-curriculum guidelines mandated by the state. They offer classes that you can't get anywhere else in a school like music and singing, cooking, school travel, hands-on project based learning, and real-life application learning. Students at the school are kind and inclusive - everyone feels included and they foster an environment of kindness and respect. I couldn't ask for a better academic, social, and emotional school environment for my children." -Jane

"I love my teachers, they are so cute. I love to go to school. It is one of my favorites, I love learning everything."  -Tristan (age 6)
"I appreciate the small class sizes at the Lyceum and groups based on skill not necessarily age. The small classes help my student feel connected to the mentors and to the other students in the program. The way that groups are created and basing them on skill and not necessarily on age allows students to work with other students who are learning similar things, regardless of age. I also appreciate that I know who my kids mentors are and we are connecting with them and that the values that these mentors hold dear are values I also hold dear for my family." -Amoryn
“We love that our girls are in good hands. They’ve made great friends at Family Lyceum and enjoy learning once again. We trust the mentors. We value their ideas and see great potential for growth in our kids. Family Lyceum mentors have incredible experience and helps us achieve our educational goals. They have vision that I have lacked. I especially have felt empowered as a mom. This school has been our first experience outside of public schools and honestly it’s a beautiful environment. We have so much joy seeing what our girls are memorizing, experiencing & they’re energized when they come home. This school year has made a huge difference in their countenances. They’re growing as expected with more confidence and wholesome exposure to classics. They’re showing interest in understanding deeper levels of learning. It’s exciting to be part of a school that has families who are invested.” -Kyrsten  ​
"I appreciate the atmosphere. My kids love learning and they are always excited to share what they learned at school when I pick them up." -Amanda

"I appreciate the small class sizes. Teachers are able to teach out of the public school box which has been great for [my student]. I don't know exactly how the teachers teach, but [my student] loves school and he hated hated school before." -Jennie ​
"Open communication. Everybody is really accessible and easy to work with. My kids are happy and typically enjoy their day. I love the social environment which I feel is a far more "quality" environment than what is found in most public schools. I have often heard teachers taking time to listen to the students and have an actual conversation. I also appreciate the challenging language arts program for the Flare kids. LA is not one of my strong suits so that is definitely a place where outside help has been great. Also we have enjoyed the reading lists every year. I have found myself more and more disappointed in the "recommended" reading for children, that has not been the case at Family Lyceum. We have found several new books to add to our shelf of treasured reads while here. Favorites have been Carry on, Mr. Bowditch, and Little Britches." -Ashley
"I am the kind of mom who wants to do it herself...but not really all by myself. I need mentors, encouragement and breaks, and so do our children. Family Lyceum is the answer for our family to homeschool successfully because it has just the right amount of social time for us and gives me a couple days per week to spend with my babies and keep our family life in order. I love the focus on helping our entire family becoming well educated through motivating books and activities and staying united. Love this school!!!" -Robyn

"I appreciate how much my daughter learns and the things she is taught. I appreciate the kindness and communication with all the teachers and staff." -Amy
"We love how much the teachers care and spend time with our kids. They get lots of attention catered to their individual needs. I truly feel like part of an educational Family."     -Leslie
"I love the support I receive through weekly informative emails, field trips, and more knowledgeable teachers than myself instructing my children. I love the balance between flexibility and structure found only at Family Lyceum. We have structure and consistency to foster progress, but there is grace allowed and rabbit hole adventures are encouraged. Family Lyceum does not answer to a state or federal entity with an agenda where grades, tests, and attendance are strictly adhered to. I love that my children are surrounded by good kids, with good parents, which creates a wholesome classroom culture." -Alexis
“Family Lyceum has been the perfect complement to our homeschool! My kids are growing and progressing beautifully! They look forward to school days and are always happy with what they did at school. The time spent with Family Lyceum is well worth the investment in their tuition. They are learning in beautiful and uplifting ways. They have plenty of support from teachers and I love that they are engaging with peers and making friends that they wouldn't be able to if they were at home full time. The lessons at Family Lyceum are so much more rich and uplifting than what I see happening in public schools, and I don't feel I would have the energy or creativity to provide as many fun enrichment activities at home. As a homeschool mom, I have a lot on my plate. The time my kids spend at Family Lyceum gives me a much-needed break and allows me to complete tasks and errands that would be much more difficult to do if my kids were at home every day. I feel this option offers the perfect balance of time together at home and time learning in other environments for our family.” -Valerie 
"I love the structure Family Lyceum gives our homeschool! It provides a basic outline for the year with carefully chosen monthly reads. Meeting twice a week is ideal for us because it gives me enough time to focus on skills (math, spelling, etc.) at home going at the pace my child needs and time with a group where they engage in inspiring hands-on activities with friends. It really is designed to support families in the crazy adventure we call homeschooling!" -Val
