We are so grateful we found the Odyssey School. We feel like it has changed the trajectory of our child's life. Public school was not working, and this is working. Our child is learning, engaged, and loves her classmates and the staff at Odyssey.

Odyssey has been a wonderful fit for our 7th grader. The small class sizes and wonderful staff have allowed our child to have more time to work on improving his skills and master more content in an environment that is able to see his needs and help him take his next steps of educational success.

Odyssey has shepherded our child through the difficult years of middle school. The teachers understand children who are neurodivergent. They do a great job of creating an environment that fosters learning in a supportive way. The school is small, so each child has plenty of access to their teachers. The kids are kind to each other as well. Our child's self confidence has greatly improved in this environment. We are very grateful for this school.
