Christianne's Lyceum of Literature and Art

Christianne’s Lyceum is a centre that celebrates literature and art. Through programs that emphasize making connections between literature and what’s going on in the outside world, we encourage young people to see themselves as readers, writers and artists. The Lyceum brings together writers, illustrators, educators and families to share diverse ways of making meaning, different schools of thought, and the richness of story in its many forms. We offer literature based programs for people of all ages.

Founded in 2007, the Lyceum is a centre that celebrates literature and art and puts it at the centre of family and community life. This inclusive centre prides itself on being ready to engage and co-construct learning journeys with individuals and families representing all aspects of a diverse  community.

Through creative programming that draws connections between literature and what’s going on in the outside world, the Lyceum encourages children to see themselves as readers, writers, and artists engaging with ideas and reflecting on their own place in society. We offer classes, workshops and events for children as young as one to adults.

Many have come to know the Lyceum as a cozy living room, a specialized library, a well-equipped studio and a whimsical art gallery all wrapped up into one. It is here that literature is transformed into experience, and experience is transformed into literature through passionate discourse. Literature, in all its representations, is a powerful tool in creating socially conscious societies committed to non-binary ways of problem solving the complexities we face as a world.

The Lyceum offers writers' workshops, parent and child Book Clubs, early childhood education, and home learning programs. During the summer, winter break and spring break, join us for camps!
