Learning at Odyssey
At Odyssey we believe that learning to learn, learning to do, and learning to be are far more important than memorization alone – learning only to know.
Hands-on quests for science, entrepreneurship and the arts prepare children for apprenticeships and real-world challenges.
Learning to do
Every learner is on a hero’s journey. Relational covenants and real-world consequences transform difficult decisions into virtuous habits.
Learning to be
Socratic discussions and self-paced challenges equip children to be independent lifelong learners.
Learning to learn
A day in the life of a learner at Acton Academy
