The Lyceum Academy

The Lyceum Academy was established by Gordon "Groomer" Massengill in 1998 at New Hanover High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. Inspired by Aristotle's Lyceum, the Lyceum Academy educates high school juniors and seniors in an accelerated college preparatory program. Since 2000, the Academy has offered immersive courses by including excursions to Key Largo, Atlanta, Costa Rica, Italy, Ecuador, Washington, D.C., and Arizona.

The program

Pupils are selected through an application and interview process, the latter of which is sometimes conducted with the aide of graduating Academy members.

The Lyceum Academy teaches four primary subjects: English, mathematics, social studies, and science.
