About Violetta Vrettos
I am Violetta Vrettos, founder of The Lyceum of Excellence. I deeply understand the learning struggles of grade-school children and their families. For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to guiding students toward their full academic and personal potential. My approach uniquely blends the heart of a mentor, the depth of a parent, and the wisdom of a well-read academic.
Heartfelt Progress: What Your Child Can Achieve With Us
We are proud to see tangible, heartwarming results:

Example of our impact: "Before Lyceum, my 8-year-old, Sarah, struggled with keeping her papers organized and often forgot assignments. Now, she uses her self-created system and even has a homework checklist! Her teacher noticed the change and so have we. She's so much happier." - Proud Parent of a 4th Grader.
We collaborate closely with schools and teachers to ensure our support complements classroom learning, providing a unified approach for your child's holistic success and offering parents guidance on their child's journey.

"Before Lyceum, my 3rd grader, Leo, struggled concepts of reading and writing. The Lyceum team truly understood him, teaching him practical focus techniques and breaking down the rules of reading. Now, he's not just improving his grades; he's learned to love reading and writing. It's been life-changing for our family!"
— Lee, Parent of 2nd Grader
Mastered rules of phonics & now sees himself as an author too.
"My daughter, Chloe, learns differently, and traditional methods often left her frustrated, particularly with writing. The Lyceum's approach to neurodivergent learners, with their creative strategies and collaborative work with her teacher, helped her unlock her potential. She's now confident in expressing her ideas and her writing has soared!"
— David P., Parent of 5th Grader
Enhanced Writing & Confidence for Diverse Learners
"Our son, Sam, had a tough time with organizational skills and time management for his school projects. The Lyceum introduced him to visual schedules and specific study organization tools. He's now tackling assignments with a clear plan, feels less overwhelmed, and genuinely enjoys the process of learning. They truly transformed his academic journey!"
