Academic Lecterns & Podiums

For classrooms, lecture halls & commencement

Over a hundred lecterns picked for teaching and ceremonies.

This is the full academic range: every lectern and podium we've picked for teaching, from the tabletop unit that lives in a classroom to the hardwood lectern that carries the school seal at commencement. It covers K-12 districts, colleges and universities, and the training centers that run like a school. For a guided tour of how school orders work, see the schools and universities page.

What schools, colleges and universities order most:

  • The 70 portable tabletop lectern and the Aristocrat 600 with keyboard tray for classrooms

Common questions

What lectern works for a classroom?
For a classroom the usual picks are the 70 portable tabletop lectern, the Aristocrat 600 with keyboard tray, or an acrylic lectern like the 401S. Lecture halls go with the clear open-back acrylic lectern or the K-5 LCD lectern for instructors who present from a laptop.
Which podium do schools use for graduation?
The Royal, the Conquest and the Graduate hardwood lecterns are the common commencement picks, with the school seal applied. For a gym or an athletic field with no house sound, a sound lectern like the 111PLS or the GSL-S carries the ceremony.
Can you put the school seal on the lectern?
Yes. Send it as a vector file (.eps, .ai or .pdf) and we'll apply, engrave or etch it depending on the model, and send a proof before production.
How does a school district or university buy?
Request a written quote, route it through purchasing, and send the purchase order when it clears. Public schools and universities can send a tax-exempt certificate and we apply it before the invoice goes out.
How fast can a lectern ship for a deadline?
Quick Ship models are in stock and leave within days. Made-to-order hardwood takes longer, and each product page shows its lead time.
