If I were to create my perfect "Lyceum" it would consist of principles based upon:
Jesus Christ - Truth and Compassion
Aristotle - Wisdom and Logic
Da Vinci - Ingenuity and Creativity
Edison - Innovation and Practicality
Einstein - Knowledge and Understanding
Every student would experience and exhibit the above characteristics. We'd teach concepts of chivalry, honor, and all other knightly codes thought to be dead. They'd learn the value of faith and prayer, of God and country. They'd learn of the importance of helping others and of both unconditional and sacrificial love...ideals sorely lacking in a self-preserving world; and it's for these reasons that our students would be set apart from the world.
"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding."
-Leonardo da Vinci
The school building itself would be something rarely seen...it'd be school on location...in true “Peripatetic” method; if it couldn't be experienced it wouldn't be worth learning in my Lyceum. We'd be explorers of the world, of countries, cultures, and history...and after seeing all that's been created around us, we'd begin to know ourselves, and in turn, know God...a kind of wisdom that can't be taught. The three greatest characteristics we as humans posses are the ability to love, explore, and to create; and as creators, we use our God given minds to take what we have at our disposal and forge something new. And that's what learning should be; it should be about experiences, which leads to wisdom, and ultimately, the ability to become creators of new and revolutionary ideas that change the world.
