Odyssey High students in OSL

Our high schoolers are out in the world—using their voices, their bodies, and their curiosity!
From showing up with peace and love at an ICE protest, to scaling rock walls, to wandering the Arboretum in search of giant trolls… this is what Outdoor & Service Learning days look like at Odyssey for our High Schoolers.

We believe education should shape thoughtful humans who care deeply about the world around them—and aren’t afraid to participate in it. 🌎💛

Shapes and Kandinsky in Kindergarten

Shapes and Kandinsky in Kindergarten

Our kindergarteners just began their Shapes unit, and today the classroom turned into a tiny art studio. After looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky - who believed colors and shapes could sound like music - students drew their own shapes and brought them to life with watercolor.
Paint brushes swirled, colors blended, and suddenly geometry felt a lot more like jazz.

Learning shapes.
Exploring art.
Listening for the music inside the paint.

Letting loose in Music class!

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.

1/2 IRP Field Trip

Today our Odyssey 1/2 class took learning on the road — literally. 🚌📚
They hopped on the city bus and headed downtown to the beautiful Pack Memorial Library to research their IRP projects. There’s something powerful about watching young learners navigate their city, dig into real research, and experience the magic of a public library in action.
From stacks of inspiring books to quiet corners built for big thinking, the day was full of independence, curiosity, and community connection.
Experiential learning at its finest. 💛
