Our Approach
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.
Learning to Do
Hands-on quests for science, entrepreneurship and the arts prepare children for apprenticeships and real-world challenges.
Learning to Be
Every learner is on a hero’s journey. Relational covenants and real-world consequences transform difficult decisions into virtuous habits.
Learning to Learn
Socratic discussions and self-paced challenges equip children to be independent lifelong learners.
The Hero's Journey
Learning at Odyssey is an invitation to begin a hero’s journey. We believe every child is a genius who is destined to discover their calling and change the world.
Our Promise
- To begin a hero’s journey.
- Learn to be a curious, independent, lifelong learner.
- Develop a deep respect for economic, political, and religious freedoms.
- Cherish the arts, wonders of the physical world, and the mysteries of life on Earth.
- Discover his or her most precious gifts and learn to use them to solve difficult problems.
A Personalized, High-Quality Education at an Affordable Price
We believe families deserve access to an education that’s personalized, meaningful, and affordable. After seeing what the private school options in Fargo had to offer, we knew we had to bring the world-class model from Acton Academy.
At Odyssey, we offer an intentionally small learning environment with hands-on projects, deep thinking, and real-world connection — at a fraction of the cost of traditional private or Montessori schools in the Fargo–Moorhead area.
At Odyssey, we believe every child deserves a world-class education that nurtures their unique gifts—without unnecessary financial barriers. Our tuition is set at $850 per month, with a single annual supply fee of $500, totaling $8,150 for the year. That’s an investment in a learning experience designed to help your hero thrive as their authentic self. We’re committed to keeping our program accessible: there are no application fees, and we do everything we can to ensure that finances never stand in the way of a learner’s journey.
