General

Lviv Physics and Mathematics Lyceum offers two programs: Physics/Mathematics (grades 8 - 11) and Chemistry/Biology (grades 9 - 11). In the past a third concentration, combining mathematics and geography, was also available. This concentration is no longer offered due to insufficient enrolments.[3]

Students of the lyceum are frequently among the top participants at the National Olympiads. LPML students often represent Ukraine at various International Olympiads, including Physics (IPhO), Mathematics (IMO) and Chemistry (IChO).

Application

Those who wish to study at the LPML have to pass an entry exam, with top performers offered admission. Students who previously won regional Olympiads are offered early admission without writing the entry exam. Average annual enrolment ranges from 110 to 130 students with around 30 students per class.

Student life

Residents from out of town are staying in gender-based dormitories. Nearly 25% of all LPML students reside in these dormitories.
