Mission and Inclusivity

Mission

The Odyssey School is dedicated to providing an exceptional education to children five years old through middle school who have been diagnosed with dyslexia and other language learning differences. Through evidence-based methods, small group instruction, and daily tutoring, we cultivate independent and confident learners who excel academically, socially, and emotionally. Anchored by our Four Pillars of Kindness, Honesty, Respect, and Hard Work, The Odyssey School challenges students intellectually and fosters self-advocacy skills. Our supportive environment empowers our students to reach their full potential in high school and beyond.

Inclusivity

At Odyssey, we believe that a diverse school community provides a dynamic and engaging educational setting in which all students are respected, valued and understood. To this end, the Odyssey School Board of Trustees together with its faculty, staff, students and parents are committed to fostering a learning culture that embraces and celebrates individual differences that include race, religion, ethnicity, socio-economic circumstances, sexual orientation, gender, and ability in an inclusive environment. As a school community, we work to both grow and promote the talents, perspectives and backgrounds among the trustees, faculty and student body reflective of an inclusive and diverse community. The Odyssey School fully accepts the responsibility that this commitment entails and through purposeful and intentional ongoing practice, will maintain a diverse learning community. We believe that diversity is a strength in our community. Our work in addressing inclusivity will always be a work in progress as we continue to move forward with intentionality.
