The Amsterdams Lyceum is a Dutch secondary school combining gymnasium and atheneum.

During the World War II the Nazis appropriated the building, using the classrooms as barracks and the Rector's house as an officers' mess.

His protest meant that he was fired, arrested and imprisoned in Amersfoort concentration camp in January 1942.

The school lost 95 (former) students during this period, every April a ceremony takes place to commemorate this loss.

At the Amsterdam Lyceum students can work their way through various optional intensified language courses.

With Trayecto Espanol, Corso Italiano and Fast Lane English you are expected to visit the country corresponding to the language you study.

Fast Lane students travel to Cambridge, Corso Italiano to Florence and Trayecto Espanol to Granada.

The options are Venice, South Africa, Israel, St. Petersburg, Sevilla, New York, Prague and Iceland.

Every year there is a theatre week of dancing, singing and acting where teachers and the other students of The Amsterdam Lyceum view the performances.

The Oud-Leerlingen Organisatie (Former Students Organization) abbreviated OLO is the alumni association of the school.
