The word "Lyceum" is the Latin word for the Greek lykeion, which refers to a locality by the river Ilissius in ancient Athens "comprising an enclosure dedicated to Apollo and adorned with fountains and buildings erected by Pisistratus, Pericles and Lycurgus frequented by the youth for exercise and by the philosopher Aristotle and his followers for teaching."

In time, the word "Lyceum" became associated with schools and other institutions providing public lectures and concerts and public discussions.

Today, the word "Lyceum" generally refers to a school or an institution of learning. "Lyceum" is now as generic in character as the word "university."

Lyceum de Ylocos established in 2015 initially catered to technical-vocational courses offering Information and Communication Technology courses for both Hardware and Software; Hotel and Restaurant Services and Tourism; Business and Career Development with Bookkeeping and Contact Center Services at its core. It now also offers Senior High School and recognized by the Department of Education.

The school adopted a classical name to emphasize the grandeur of its location, the Heritage City of Vigan, the only awardee of the title New World Wonder City in the Philippines. It fosters the promotion of tourism and hospitality; promotes preservation of the cultural heritage and innovates towards service delivery and business processing.

Lyceum de Ylocos is committed to be of service to students through the provisions of an environment where there would be opportunities to relate theories and knowledge to practical training.
