Lyceum Preparatory Academy was founded to provide girls grade 5-9 with the opportunity to experience a challenging academic atmosphere, with personal attention to the needs of individual students. It is our intention to expand the school to also include grades 10-12 in the near future.

The name "Lyceum" is of Greek origin. The Lyceum is the name of the school Aristotle founded in 335 B.C.E. in Athens, Greece. The original Lyceum was used for physical exercise, philosophical dialogue, and debates. Aristotle, one of the world's greatest thinkers, contributed to the study of physical science, ethics, rhetoric, philosophy, literature and poetry, logic, and education.
