1580s, Latin form of Greek lykeion, name of a grove or garden with covered walks near Athens where Aristotle taught, from neuter of Lykeios "wolf-slayer," an epithet of Apollo, whose temple was nearby, from lykos "wolf." Hence lycée, name given in France to state-run secondary schools. In England, early 19c., lyceum was the name taken by a number of literary societies; in U.S., after c.1820, it was the name of institutes that sponsored popular lectures in science and literature.

Wikipedia
The lyceum is a category of educational institution defined within the education system of many countries, mainly in Europe. The definition varies between countries; usually it is a type of secondary school.
Lyceum was an open-source blogging platform based on WordPress. It was developed by ibiblio, but development ceased in 2010.
Lyceum is a synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) software which allows groups of people to speak to one another in real time over the Internet using Voice over IP conferencing.
Lyceum was developed at the Open University in the UK and was introduced into language tutorials in 2002. It also offers an interactive whiteboard (for writing, drawing and importing images, e.g. from the Web), a concept mapping device (for taking notes or writing short texts), a word processor (for jointly writing and editing longer documents) and a written text chat facility.
The software was written in Java, with some C code to integrate a third party native library used for the Voice over IP conferencing functionality.
Lyceum is compatible with the Windows 9x, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. Use of Lyceum on Windows Vista requires the installation of a software patch for Lyceum. Lyceum runs on 32-bit, but not 64-bit editions. It does not run on Mac OS X or Linux.
The use of the software for language learning has been reported at different stages, from the pilot projects since 1997 (Hauck & Haezewindt, 1999, Shield 2000, Kötter 2001, Hewer and Shield 2001), to reports of the mainstream use (Hampel 2003, Hampel & Hauck 2004). Recent articles include task design (Rosell-Aguilar, 2005), tutor roles (Hampel & Stickler, 2005, Rosell-Aguilar, 2007), tutor impressions (Rosell-Aguilar, 2006a), and student impressions (Rosell-Aguilar, 2006b)

Lyceum is an album by The Orchids, released on Sarah Records in 1989.
It was the first album release by the group (and also by the label) and was originally only available as an 8 track, 10" mini-album on vinyl. As was usual for albums on Sarah Records, no singles were released from it, although the later 2005 reissue contained all the early singles.
It was reviewed in Melody Maker as "Another fountainhead of unqualified greatness".
The Lyceum ( Ancient Greek: Λύκειον, Lykeion) was a temple dedicated to Apollo Lyceus ("Apollo of aurora" or "Apollo the enlighter").
It was best known for its connection with Aristotle, who was teaching while walking around the temple, rendering it a Peripatetic school (peripatos means walk around) there in 334 and continued long after his flight from Athens in until the Roman general Sulla attacked Athens in 86 BCE.
The remains of the Lyceum were discovered in modern Athens in 1996 in a park behind the Hellenic Parliament.
