About Odyssey’s Outreach & Promotion:

Our local impact is huge! Here are few aspects of our general school community demographics:     

Our school community is comprised of more than 270 parents and professionals from wide-ranging areas including medicine, mental health; law, government, and social justice initiatives; technical design/engineering, technology and publishing fields; baccalaureate education; agriculture, tourism, art, and local entrepreneurship. 

Odyssey is a community institution valued for its commitment to support racial justice, non-traditional family constellations, diverse faiths, and diversity in all forms. Our parental and extended families support the local economy, are tastemakers, and charitably contribute to the fiscal wellbeing of the school.

• Our online auctions attract bidders from all over the U.S. as Odyssey has a network of extended family and friends that support the school, expanding viewership to more than 1,500. Auctions have additional local interest with sponsors and bidders through our online and social outreach.
• Our website has an average of more than 140,000 visitors annually.
• We enjoy consistent, positive reviews on websites such as Niche, GreatSchools, and Private School Review. 
• Our social media has thousands of users. Our open and closed group Facebook pages present excellent opportunities to get your brand in front of new audiences. Many of our posts are seen by 500 + people and our FB Ads reach several hundred more!
• At various times in a given year, we advertise with Blue Ridge Public Radio, Mountain Xpress, AvlToday, Asheville Citizen-Times, and through our own educational podcast, Best Practices in Education.
