Description

The Odyssey School is based on the Expeditionary Learning/Outward Bound philosophy. Expeditionary Learning is one of seven "break the mold" school designs funded over a five-year period by New American Schools built upon high standards and yielding dramatic improvement in student achievement. Although some curricular skills are taught separately, for the most part, students acquire knowledge and skills through learning expeditions that cut across and make connections among disciplines.
