The Lyceum Foundation coordinates transportation to and from local schools and assists children with practice, homework, test preparation, and scheduled labs for classes such as grade-level math and ELA offered through the Foundation and Lyceum Village vendors. The organization states that it supports busy and working parents as they establish in their children life-long habits of being physically active, making healthy nutrition choices, and encouraging the development of their intellectual vitality, and that through continued support they believe family time will improve and that success in children’s academics and futures as a whole will follow. Lyceum Village SPC is described as a home to many established Orange County education programs and as having state-of-the-art facilities where numerous educational programs from throughout Orange County and beyond have grown their programs.

Parenting OC named Lyceum Village After School Program the Readers’ Choice Awards Best After School Program from 2020 to 2022.
Parent testimonials describe the programs as coming from “top notch providers,” mention caring people and a variety of offerings, and state that the speaker highly recommends Lyceum for those who care about the quality of their child’s after school program. Another testimonial notes the number of sports and educational providers under one roof, the drop off zone, and shuttling services, and mentions positive experiences with math tutoring. A third testimonial calls Lyceum Village a “European concept” and states that it provides many services for youth to learn their passions, be creative, and become well rounded scholars and student athletes, and notes that the shuttling services save time and money.
