When did Aristotle's academy open?

in 335 BC In about 335 BCE, Alexander departed for his Asiatic campaign, and Aristotle, who had served as an informal adviser (more or less) since Alexander ascended the Macedonian throne, returned to Athens and opened his own school of philosophy. He may, as Aulus Gellius says, have conducted a school of rhetoric during his former residence in Athens; but now, following Plato's example, he gave regular instruction in philosophy in a gymnasium dedicated to Apollo Lyceios, from which his school has come to be known as the Lyceum. (It was also called the Peripatetic School because Aristotle preferred to discuss problems of philosophy with his pupils while walking up and down -- peripateo -- the shaded walks -- peripatoi -- around the gymnasium.)

What were Aristotle's careers?

Aristotle was born in 384 B.C at Stagira on the Chalcidic Peninsula of Macedonia, in northern Greece. His father Nichomachus had been the court physician of the Macedonian king Amyntas III, father of Philip II and grandfather of Alexander the Great. Aristotle lost both his parents while still a child and was brought up by Proxenus, a friend of the family. As a doctor's son, Aristotle inherited a scientific tradition going back some 200 years. Because medicine was a traditional occupation handed down from father to son, Aristotle probably learnt the fundamentals of biological skill from his father, which he later displayed in his biological researches. Aristotle's own institute in Athens - "Lyceum" instructed students in history and medicine. At the age of seventeen, Aristotle travelled to Athens and joined Plato's Academy, where he studied assiduously. He impressed Plato with his original thinking and was described by him as being the "intelligent of the school". He remained there for twenty years, first as a student, then as teacher.
