Experience: Odyssey believes that learning can take place outside the four walls of our school. And that often, students are their own best teachers. Odyssey student are given the freedom to explore their passions.

Farmer's market

What's in season now? Seasonal food is nutritious, fresh and reasonable. Students will not only learn seasonal vegetables and fruits, but also support local farmers. Students go to the local farmer's market to explore various seasonal food and communicate with farmers. At the end of the day, all students enjoy fresh fruits and vegetable snack before going home.

 

 

Advisory Lunch

Field Trip

Green festival, Asian Art museum, movie festivals, body world and much more. Odyssey takes advantages of events happening around the are with field trips in order to enrich students knowledge and experience.

 

Intersession

Students have passion to learn. Passion for cooking, making website, photography, Medieval History and a plethora of other topics. Students get connected with professionals in the field they are interested in by working with mentors. Students are enc ouraged to go off campus to learn, and experience. Exploring their passion for five weeks give students an unforgettable opportunity to learn via hands-on with professionals in the field.

 

Outdoor Education and Camp

We believe that physical challenges build confident rick-takers. That confident explainers come from confident learners. Success isn't achieved until the whole group achieves it. Students also learn where they belongs to by going through fun and hard time together.

Oregon Shakespeare Festival

You go to HEAR a play not see a play. The way you truly experience Shakespeare is by studying the text, putting scenes up on their feet, watching movies, participating in workshops with professional actors, having back stage tours and then see the four plays you have just finished studying. That is the value of the spending three days at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Japan trip

The three week trip to japan for 8th graders is a compilation of three years of Odyssey. It is a final destination of their Odyssey. A student described the Japan trip as a big problem solving trip. They need to figure what to do when they don't know what to do. Students will be staying at temples, and home stays and have eye opening experience.
