Odyssey Middle School Revenue and Competitors

Odyssey School educates the leaders, thinkers and creators of tomorrow. Vision: Odyssians are informed world citizens and committed risk-takers who are driven to self-understanding and take active roles in the improvement of their multiple communities. Values: - Integrity - Curiosity - Community - Respect - Commitment Odyssey School Curriculum: Connections. The most salient characteristic of the Odyssey course of study is an integrated curriculum. We want students making connections among disciplines, between what is occurring in the real world and their classes as well as a connection to the real issues in their lives and their course of study. The pedagogy for the curriculum from sixth through eighth grade centers on critical thinking skills, problem solving, cooperative learning groups and a concern with divergent styles of learning and multiple intelligences. We subscribe to four organizational structures of the curriculum which vary in intensity for each grade level: 1. Movement: dance, running, team sports, Tai Chi, stage combat, aerobics and swimming. 2. Creative Arts: music history, choir, studio art, art history, photography, film/video, make up design, set design, costume design. 3. Core: Japanese, math, science, writing, humanities. 4. Affective Education: Self-Science, advisory, student council, daily gathering, service learning and seminar.
