The magic of Amy Glenn's golden retriever
Sometimes the best kind of regulation comes with four legs and a wagging tail. 🐾
Amy Glenn, one of our incredible 7/8 teachers recently shared: “I’m so glad I can bring this sweet boy to school. The kids love him and he brings a lot of joy, regulation, and softness to the class.”
At Odyssey, learning happens in environments where students feel safe, seen, and loved—and sometimes that love looks like a golden retriever in the middle of the 7/8 class getting a whole lot of affection.
Summer camp special: Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
Big news for summer at Odyssey ☀️🎶
We’re thrilled to host a special summer music camp led by Grammy-winning artist @secretagent23skidoo — giving students the chance to create, collaborate, and dive deep into the joy of making music. From songwriting and rhythm to performance and creative expression, campers will spend the week learning directly from a working artist while embracing Odyssey’s playful, pressure-free approach to the arts.
Expect big sounds, big imagination, and the kind of musical magic that happens when kids feel free to explore.
🎤 Open to young musicians and curious creators alike.

Letting loose in Music class!
When you schedule “music class” but it turns into pizza + BIG SILLY energy 🍕🎶
We love that our kids feel this comfortable in Agustin’s music class — loose, joyful, unfiltered, and completely unafraid of belting it out. We believe real musicianship isn’t built on pressure or perfectionism. It’s built on play. On risk. On laughter…and these humans are pretty awesome at it.

NCSEAA Opportunity Scholarship - applications open soon
North Carolina's Opportunity Scholarship program has expanded eligibility in a major way: the income cap has been removed, and families no longer need prior public school enrollment to qualify. This state program offers tuition assistance ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 that can be used at Odyssey.
If cost has been the thing keeping you from exploring whether Odyssey could work for your family, this might change the equation. These scholarships exist to open doors that felt closed.
Applications are accepted February 2 - March 2 thru NCSEAA’s MyPortal system, with priority given to early applicants thru. Learn more and apply at the NC State Education Assistance Authority. We're here to answer questions about how this scholarship works with Odyssey's tuition.
