Odyssey Global Academy

The Odyssey Institute is excited to introduce a groundbreaking addition to the Odyssey Family of Schools: a comprehensive Online Learning Option. This new program is designed to expand educational opportunities for our scholars, combining maximum flexibility with the exceptional academic standards that define an Odyssey education.

Launching for the 2025-2026 academic year, the platform empowers scholars to personalize their learning experience without compromising quality. Aligned with our mission to meet scholars where they are, this initiative reinforces our commitment to educational innovation, ensuring multiple pathways to academic success for learners with unique circumstances.

This newsletter provides an overview of the program. We encourage you to explore the details carefully, especially the included survey, invitations to informational meetings, and opportunities to contribute as a stakeholder in shaping our next steps.

Flexible Scheduling

Our program provides scholars the option to engage in asynchronous learning (allows students to access lessons, complete assignments, and engage in class activities on their own schedules rather than meeting at a set time) with optional live lessons via Zoom. Additionally, scholars can choose to attend in-person one-on-one support sessions on Fridays. Whether fully remote or utilizing these optional supports, scholars benefit from a flexible structure that empowers them to excel academically while balancing other commitments.

Asynchronous Learning

The foundation of our online program is its asynchronous learning component, enabling scholars to progress independently at their own pace. Daily activities include:

• Independent lessons and assignments

• Project-based learning activities

• Online exercises aligned with IB principles

This approach fosters self-discipline and deep engagement with learning materials while closely mirroring the curriculum offered in our traditional classrooms. Instructional time is carefully tracked through online participation and parental attendance logs, ensuring accountability and consistent progress.

Optional Synchronous Sessions

Complementing independent study, optional live Zoom sessions provide real-time interaction with instructors and peers. These sessions offer:

• Targeted support from educators

• Interactive activities such as Socratic seminars and peer reviews

• Immediate feedback and in-depth discussions

Additionally, scholars seeking personalized support can attend one-on-one in-person sessions every Friday. These opportunities ensure all scholars stay connected and supported in their learning journey.

• Dual Enrollment Opportunities:
  Students can earn college credits while completing high school, saving time and money on higher education.

• Flexible Schedule:
  Our program accommodates extracurricular activities such as sports, arts, and other passions that may conflict with traditional school hours.

• Early Graduation Options:
  Students can accelerate their learning and graduate early, allowing them to pursue higher education or career opportunities sooner.

• Career Preparation and Job Integration:
  We provide support for students to work part-time or engage in internships, helping them gain valuable experience while studying.

• Partnership with West-MEC:
  Students can seamlessly integrate their studies with West-MEC programs, gaining career and technical education in high-demand industries.

• Solutions for Transportation Challenges:
  Our online model eliminates the need for daily commutes, making education accessible to students facing transportation barriers.

Yes! Our flexible program allows scholars to take some classes remotely and others in person to meet graduation requirements. This flexible approach ensures that all scholars can customize their schedules to align with their goals, while still benefiting from the academic rigor and interactive experiences Odyssey is known for. Whether pursuing remote options or attending in-person sessions, scholars will have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
