The curriculum · Grades 6–12

The great ideas, real languages, and mathematics to mastery.

A classical, college-preparatory education for grades 6–12.

Lyceum Mundi is built on a classical conviction: that young people rise to serious material when it's taught well and one-on-one. We don't water the content down — we make it reachable. Per litteras, per orbem: through letters, through the world.

General — the classical core

Every student follows a complete, classical, college-preparatory course of study — the humanities, mathematics, the sciences, languages, and the arts — taught one-on-one, to mastery.

★ How science labs work at home

Real lab work — hands-on and virtual — fully documented.

Florida's home-education law doesn't inspect a home lab; what matters is that the science is genuinely done and recorded for college. Our science courses meet the State University System's lab expectation — two lab sciences in the 18-unit college-prep core — like this:

  • Hands-on home labs with low-cost kits and safe household experiments — microscope work and dissection for biology, guided chemistry and physics investigations.
  • Virtual & simulated labs for experiments that aren't practical at home — we use free options wherever a good one exists.
  • Your AI faculty guides each experiment and grades the lab report — hypothesis, procedure, data, analysis, and conclusion.
  • Every lab is saved as a dated work sample in your §1002.41 portfolio, and the course is recorded on the transcript as a lab science.

Some kits or materials may carry a modest third-party cost (not billed by us); hands-on activities are conducted under parent supervision.

Honors & Advanced Placement

Every subject has an Honors track, and college-level Advanced Placement (AP) courses let your child earn the official "AP" designation and sit the College Board exams for college credit.

Mathematics & Science

★ Can my child complete AP courses?

Yes — with the official "AP" on the transcript.

Homeschoolers can take genuine, transcript-labeled AP courses. To use the official "AP" designation, the parent registers once with the College Board as a Home School Provider and completes the AP Course Audit by adopting the College Board's ready-made sample syllabus — the simple, no-review express path.

  • It costs nothing extra. Provider registration, the Course Audit, and the sample syllabus are all free — no fee from the College Board and nothing added by us.
  • We do it with you. Lyceum Mundi walks you through every step, maps each course to its official AP syllabus, and gets you approved.
  • You stay the educator of record. The authorization attaches to you, the home educator; we provide the instruction and materials.
  • The exam. Your child sits for the AP exam (currently $99, paid at exam time) at a participating school each May — the score is what colleges credit.

AP® and Advanced Placement® are trademarks of the College Board, which is not affiliated with and does not endorse Lyceum Mundi. The official "AP" course label is authorized through the parent's free College Board Home School Provider registration and AP Course Audit, which we help you complete. Course availability scales with each student's readiness.

Professional Studies

For students ready to explore a career field in depth, Lyceum Mundi offers four Professional Studies academies — bundled course tracks layered on top of the classical core. We work alongside you so your child's transcript and homeschool diploma reflect these advanced studies.

International

Lyceum Mundi travels with your family. Because the whole school lives online — with a full AI faculty available every day, in every time zone — your child's education continues without interruption, whether from a sailboat at sea, an apartment in Lisbon, or a posting overseas.

It's built for families who travel, parents on international assignment, and students seeking academic enrichment abroad — keeping a rigorous, college-preparatory program intact wherever life takes you.

And you're never on your own: we maintain an office in Manila, Philippines, giving Lyceum Mundi families round-the-clock global coverage and customer support.

Special Needs

An AI-driven faculty can do something a classroom rarely can: adapt completely to one child. Lessons can be re-paced, re-sequenced, broken into shorter steps, and re-explained without limit — delivered the way each student learns best.

Working in conjunction with our team, parents can design a program tailored to a student who requires special accommodations — and who stands to gain the most from the patient, infinitely adaptable, advanced technology at the heart of Lyceum Mundi.

Religious Studies

Because Florida home education is directed by the parent, your family is free to make faith a part of your child's education. For parents who want it, Lyceum Mundi offers denomination-centric religious education courses that supplement — never replace — your child's secular education.

Your Tradition, Your Choice

Entirely optional and opt-in. Religious studies are added only when you ask, and shaped around your family's denomination and convictions.

Alongside the Core

Faith-based courses complement the full classical, college-preparatory curriculum — typically as electives on the transcript — rather than substituting for English, mathematics, science, history, or languages.

Parent-Directed

You remain the home educator of record. We provide the course; you direct how religious instruction fits your child's week and your household's life.

How a year is structured

Each child follows a coherent, year-long plan — courses sequenced across four quarters, with credits tracked the way a Florida transcript expects. You see the full plan, the reading list, and progress at any time from your dashboard. Lyceum Mundi serves grades 6–12.

Built for Bright Futures & Florida's State Universities

From day one, a Lyceum Mundi education aims at Florida's public universities — and the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship. The two have different rules, and we build for both.

State universities (SUS)

The 18-unit college-prep core

The State University System looks for 18 core academic units, a weighted GPA, and SAT or ACT scores. Our curriculum is sequenced to deliver exactly that:

  • 4 English · 4 Mathematics (Algebra I and up) · 3 Natural Science (2 with labs)
  • 3 Social Studies · 2 sequential credits of one world language · 2 electives
  • A weighted, Honors/AP-aware transcript with course descriptions — built as you go
Bright Futures · home education

No GPA gate — three things to hit

Home-educated students get a simpler path: Bright Futures sets no required course list or minimum GPA for home-ed applicants. It comes down to three things, and we help with each:

  • Register as a home-education student with your county for grades 11 & 12 — our Notice-of-Intent generator gets you on file.
  • Test scores — SAT 1330 / ACT 29 / CLT 95 for Academic Scholars; SAT 1190 / ACT 24 / CLT 82 for Medallion. Our test-prep track builds toward them, including the CLT — a natural fit for a Great Books education.
  • Service hours — 100 (Academic) or 75 (Medallion), volunteer or paid. We give you the checklist and keep them documented alongside your portfolio.

Figures reflect the 2025–26 Bright Futures and State University System criteria, which are set by the State of Florida and the universities and updated periodically; eligibility and admission are theirs to determine. Lyceum Mundi helps you meet and document the criteria — it does not award the scholarship or guarantee admission.

One system, not two

Every course feeds the same place: the §1002.41 portfolio. The curriculum and the compliance record are not two systems — they're one.
