Etymology
Lyceum also became the name for a school because the original Lykeion was a place for learning and study in ancient Athens, where students met to learn from Aristotle. You can see the same idea in French lycée, which means 'secondary school', so a lyceum can mean a school for older students as well as a place for public lectures.
