Instructor

Mrs. Marie MacPherson is completing (summer 2026) an MA in the great books at Memoria College. She has a BA in elementary education with a certification as a Lutheran teacher in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod as well as a classical Lutheran education certificate from the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education. As a homeschool mother with nearly two decades of experience, she has coordinated music camps, art enrichment courses, and speech teams. She is author of several books, including Teaching Your Children Chastity and a two-volume devotional entitled Meditations on the Vocation of Motherhood. Homeschool moms across America have come to Marie for advice, which finally led her to suggest to her husband that they expand their service to their neighbors by establishing Lifelong Lyceum.

Our Unique Approach

  • Supporting families in lifelong learning
  • Offering interactive live sessions through small-audience videoconferencing
  • Teaching according to the classical pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty
  • Cultivating the values of Western civilization: natural law, cardinal and theological virtues, Socratic questioning, syllogistic reasoning
  • Promoting the ideals of America’s founding: representative government and the rule of law for protecting people’s God-given rights to life, liberty, and property
  • Standing on the foundation of the historic Christian faith as taught in Holy Scripture and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Augsburg Confession

Testimonials

Not only does Mrs. MacPherson have a huge breadth of knowledge ranging across many fields, but she possesses that rare gift of being able to impart that knowledge to her students in a meaningful way. My sons marveled at how much they learned in a single course and appreciated the clarity with which complicated ideas were communicated. We will definitely be looking for more classes from Mrs. MacPherson!

One would be hard pressed to find someone who understands classical Christian education better than Dr. Ryan MacPherson and his wife Marie. He is a highly respected scholar and they are both firmly grounded in a biblical worldview. I highly recommend their Lifelong Lyceum courses.
