Kindergarten Feast 2025
Our Kindergartners stepped straight out of the ordinary and into a world stitched together by story, scent, color, and imagination.
Our annual Multicultural Feast is the grand finale of a semester spent traveling—Appalachia to China, India to England, Egypt to the Nile’s edge—without ever leaving the classroom. With the magic of our parent community, the room was transformed: fabrics, textures, handmade details… a little portal to everywhere at once.
We welcomed @atellingexperience who spun tales that made the whole room lean in. Then our students made candles, sculpted with salt clay, and-because every great celebration ends at the table-shared a feast cooked and baked with love from home kitchens across our community.
It was one of those days that reminds you why we do this: when learning becomes lived, when culture becomes connection, when five and six-year-olds show us how wide the world really is. Here’s a glimpse into the magic.
What makes Odyssey special to you?
At Odyssey, the magic is in our people—the students, families, and educators who make this community feel like home.
We’d love to hear from you: What makes Odyssey special to you?
As Giving Tuesday approaches, we invite you to consider Odyssey in your end-of-year giving. Every gift supports joyful learning, creative exploration, and the spirited community our kids thrive in.
Tater Knob Farm offsite learning
On Tater Knob Farm, the rows run long and the air carries a song. Here is one of our high schoolers working the fields, whistling as he works — proof that when learning meets land, something deeper roots itself.
Friendsgiving at Odyssey
Friendsgiving at Odyssey. Good food, great company, and sunshine on our shoulders — the perfect recipe for gratitude. Here’s to a community that shows up, shares generously, and celebrates together.
1/2 Habitat Building!
See our 1st & 2nd graders deep in the magic of making — shaping habitats, painting backdrops, and turning shoeboxes into ecosystems with stories to tell.
Middle School Dance: A Night To Remember
What. A. Night. Our middle schoolers showed UP and showed OUT on the dance floor! Thanks to everyone who came and made tonight’s dance one for the books.
Thank you again to @rainbowcommunityschool @hangerhallschool @french_broad_river_academy @tlc_school for joining us tonight!
New School Van!
Our brand-new school van just took its maiden voyage! Big smiles, big adventures ahead. We can’t wait to see where this ride takes us!
Now the real question… what should we name our trusty new travel buddy?
Odyssey + LEAF Global Arts
Recently, Odyssey students explored rhythm, dance, and expression alongside the incredible Teaching Artists from Leaf Global Arts — guided by our very own Music Director, Agustín, who is also a longtime Leaf Teaching Artist himself.
Through music and movement, students discovered the joy of collaboration and the power of art to build bridges across cultures. A beautiful reminder that creativity connects us all.
Middle School: A Gravity Quest

Bilingual Birdies in the Pre-K Class
Our PreK students had an absolute blast during their recent weekly visit with Bilingual Birdies! Through songs, movement, and laughter, they explored new languages and cultures — a joyful reminder of how much we learn when we open our hearts (and ears!) to the world around us.
