The article analyzes the legislative and regulatory framework governing the establishment and operation of specialized secondary educational institutions (SSEI) such as scientific lyceums. It summarizes the practical experience of organizing the educational environment of a scientific lyceum using the example of the Separate Division "Scientific Lyceum of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University". It is emphasized that, along with obtaining a complete secondary education in accordance with the specialization profiles (historical and legal, physical and mathematics, philological, chemical and biological), an important feature of this educational institution is the implementation of scientific research and experimental activities by high school students. This is achieved by involving the best scientific and pedagogical staff of the university as teachers, as well as using the material base, equipment, and laboratories of the higher education institution, applying the principle of voluntariness and internal motivation to study when selecting lyceum students for classes of a certain specialization profile during the admission interview. An analysis of the results of an anonymous survey of students of the scientific lyceum was carried out. Respondents confirmed a high level of motivation to study at the lyceum; a conscious choice of specialization profile in accordance with their professional aspirations; the quality of education at the scientific lyceum meeting their expectations; involvement in scientific and research activities; confidence in their own level of knowledge; satisfaction with teaching methods, material resources, and the overall educational environment of the lyceum. An analysis of the objective performance indicators of the Scientific Lyceum of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University over the four years of its existence was carried out. The following trends in the development of this educational institution were identified: steady growth in the number of lyceum students; an increase in the number of students involved in research activities through participation in conferences, seminars, tournaments, Olympiads, competitions, and writing research papers for the Junior Academy of Sciences; and a leading position in rankings for the effectiveness of its students' scientific and academic achievements.
