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
Training homeschool students in specified subjects, with the parent ensuring that the child stays on pace (“Did you finish your reading for tomorrow’s videonconference live session?”) while Lifelong Lyceum handles the details of instruction and assessment

Testimonials

Marie MacPherson is an exceptional educator whose passion makes the material engaging, and her calm, kind demeanor has encouraged my son to enjoy and actively participate in class. Most importantly, her instruction is firmly rooted in Scripture and our Lutheran faith. We are blessed to have found Marie and could not have asked for a better experience.

—Natalie, Georgia

My high school student was well equipped and deeply edified by Marie MacPherson’s seminars on the Greek tragedies. She guided students with rigorous and thoughtful discernment into meaningful life application and strong scriptural integration. Her teaching cultivated intellectual inquiry, historical perspective, and spiritual reflection. My son benefited tremendously from the fruitful contemplation she fostered throughout the course.
