A school of your own,
with your name on the door.

Everything you need to run an online school under your own name: a community, video courses with an AI tutor on every lesson, live classes, your own website and store, paid memberships, and a full back office (CRM, attendance, gamification, finances and invoicing, tasks, calendar, and staff logins) with an AI assistant to help you run it. One subscription replaces your course platform, community app, live classroom, email tool, CRM, scheduler, invoicing software, and website builder.

Lyra is the Lyceum guide, an AI assistant that answers questions before you sign up and then walks you through opening your school step by step. She does not replace support. For anything she cannot settle, write to support@joinlyceum.com and a person answers.

Starter, for most people. It is a complete school at a price that makes sense before you have members: courses with the tutor on every lesson, community, packages, your website, the back office, and broadcast email. Build the school and the audience there. The Pro tools are for selling to people who have already shown up: funnels, sequences, offers, staff logins, a custom domain. When your school grows to where it needs them, it will also be earning enough to pay for them, and the switch is one click in the Plan room with everything you built intact.

Three plans, and most schools start on the first and grow into the second. Starter is $49 a month plus 5% of member revenue: courses with an AI tutor on every lesson, community, membership packages, your website on a Lyceum address, the back office, and broadcast email. Pro is $99 plus 2% and adds a custom domain, live classes, email sequences and newsletters, sales funnels, bumps and upsells, every package type, and up to five teacher logins; past about $1,700 a month in member revenue it costs less than Starter. Academy is $249 with 0% platform share, forever, and adds The Director AI assistant, the AI SEO engine, unlimited AI drafts, full white label, and unlimited teacher logins. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, annual billing is two months free, and founding schools lock their terms for life.

No. Building is free. You start a plan, with a 14-day free trial, when you are ready to enroll paying members.

Yes. Beyond teaching, Lyceum runs the business: a member CRM with notes and tags, class attendance with self check-in, badges and streaks that keep students engaged, invoices and a finance dashboard, a task board with a kanban view, a unified calendar, and from Pro, teacher logins where you control who gets the AI tools. On the Academy plan, an AI assistant reads your live numbers and drafts your daily report. You can even add lifelike AI avatar instructors to host your lessons.

Because nobody here needs to be paid who does not work here. Lyceum is a small team of educators with no investors and no board. We price each plan on what it costs to host, take a smaller share as your school grows, and take nothing on Academy. The big platforms charge what the market will bear; we charge what the service costs plus enough to keep building it.

A small team of working educators who run schools of their own on this platform. We built it after years on platforms that seemed to exist to make money from teachers rather than to help them. Lyceum exists to help educators thrive in today's market. When you write to support, an educator answers.

It is the workspace beside every lesson. Add a transcript and Lyceum writes AI study notes and runs a tutor that answers your members' questions using only that lesson's material, citing the exact moment in the video. It is the difference between watching a video and actually learning.

Yes, both, and they are part of the same school. Build your public site from ten editorial templates, set your colors and type, and point your own domain at it on Pro and Academy. The store takes payment through your own Stripe for goods, files, and event passes; attach a file to a product and the buyer is emailed a private download link as soon as they pay, and the link stops working if you refund them. You can also link an existing Shopify store in one field.

No. You need a craft and the will to teach it. Schools grow on the strength of their teaching, and some of the best lyceums will start with ten members who care.

You do, completely. Your videos are yours, your member list is yours and exportable, your prices are yours. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you.

In the places that matter most, we already do more: a private AI tutor on every lesson, an AI assistant that runs on your live numbers, a full back office with a member CRM, no contact caps, and your own Stripe with 0% revenue share on the Academy plan. Kajabi is more mature in a few areas we are actively building, chiefly a visual automations builder, an affiliate program, and a branded mobile app. Our comparison lays it all out, those included, honestly.

Both are live, on Pro and Academy. Sales funnels: build one from a template (a free-guide opt-in, a sales page, or a webinar sign-up), it gets its own link, captures leads, and sends buyers straight to a membership package's checkout. Email sequences: series that send themselves when someone joins or buys, with per-step delays and personalization. Starter sends broadcast email to your members. A visual when-then automations builder is next. We will not list anything as included until it is real.

Your school works in any phone browser today, with nothing to install. A branded native app is on the roadmap. We would rather ship it right than claim it early.

Yes. Kajabi makes you rebuild every course by hand; we will help you move instead. Founding schools get white-glove migration as part of setup, so you never start from a blank page.

No. We do not cap how many members or contacts your school can hold, on any plan. Storage and email volume scale by tier, but your audience is never the thing we charge you for, which is exactly the wall Kajabi's plans put in front of you.

No. The ads desk writes campaigns, tracking URLs, pixels, and launch kits, and it logs spend you enter. It does not press publish inside Meta or Google. We would rather say that plainly than borrow a partner badge.

Yes. Type your email in the box at the top of this page, enter the code we send, and your studio opens. Lyra walks you through the setup from there. If you would rather have a person open the school with you, write to support@joinlyceum.com and we will.
