The term "Lyceum" hearkens back to Aristotle's school in ancient Athens, but also to the American Lyceum movement, which aimed to provide adults with opportunities for intellectual engagement and public discourse.
Seven Oaks Classical School is excited to announce a new endeavor, “The Lyceum: A conversation between ancient wisdom and modern science.” The Lyceum series is designed to advance the mission of the school by inviting speakers to campus to share their expertise with the whole school community — students, teachers, and parents. The Lyceum will explore a wide range of topics, but each in its own way will connect timeless principles with contemporary science and technology.

We are delighted to welcome our first Lyceum speaker to campus on Monday, January 27th. Mr. Caleb Duplain is a filmmaker and storyteller with a passion for crafting meaningful narratives. Formally trained in filmmaking throughout high school and college, he founded his own production company, producing short films and documentaries that have screened at film festivals around the world. His work is celebrated for blending creativity and authenticity while tackling themes that resonate deeply with audiences.
Beyond filmmaking, Caleb began sharing his personal experiences with the challenges of social media—an issue often reflected in his work as a digital storyteller. His candid videos about its impact and design flaws garnered millions of views and built a community of hundreds of thousands. Now, he is using his platform to spark meaningful conversations, traveling to schools to educate young audiences about the pitfalls of social media and empowering them to navigate it with greater awareness and intention.
