Welcome to Odyssey Cyberspace!

You have probably come to this site because you are looking for a middle school for your child. We believe you are on the wrong search. You should be looking for a community, not just a school. That is Odyssey.

Community is what separates us from so many other fine schools on the Peninsula. We are a community of parents, a community of learners, a community of sib groups, and a community of problem solvers. We don't just talk the talk about community; we walk the walk.

We gather as an entire school community each morning and afternoon to discuss, share and reinforce each other.

We meet as a parent community once a month to discuss the roller coaster ride of raising young adolescents.

Our faculty community meets three times a week to discuss students' progress and challenges.

Our advisory communities meet three times a week to clear the path of obstacles to becoming an academic and emotional success in middle school.

Our sib groups meet regularly to offer advise, support, answer questions and defuse issues as little sibs look to older sib to help them make the transition from elementary school to middle school.

Community.

As you navigate our website we hope that we answer you questions about what a student gains from an Odyssian education. You will find information from students, alums and parents. You will see pictures of happy kids actively engaged and a commitment to education outside the four walls of a classroom.

We hope you will view the website, attend an open house, complete the testing, file an application, schedule a shadow visit and find that Odyssey fits your child's need for an intellectually stimulating, emotionally safe community. There is no BEST school, only the best school for your child.

Welcome to Odyssey.
