The Odyssey Family of Schools aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring scholars who work to create a better and more peaceful community through intercultural awareness, understanding, and respect. Our scholars will grow as part of a challenging environment that facilitates creativity and fun. Our scholars will be empowered to use their unique talents to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, contribute to solutions.

Arrive at any Odyssey Preparatory Academy campus between 7:45-8:00 in the morning and you will be greeted by the voices of scholars quoting The Odyssey Core Values out loud and in unison. Not just something that we repeat each morning and then go about our day, our Core Values inform each of our decisions at The Odyssey Preparatory Academy. From our curriculum choices, all the way down to our tardy policy, we expect, require, and believe that:

 

• At The Odyssey Family of Schools every scholar matters and all scholars will be empowered to use their talents in order to grow emotionally and academically.
• The Odyssey Family of Schools will promote an environment of excellence and professionalism.
• Growth isn’t always measured by test scores.
• Scholars will be challenged and will feel safe to explore and learn new things on a daily basis.
• All scholars will be engaged in a learning environment of creativity and fun.
• At The Odyssey Family of Schools all team members are appreciated and valued for their hard work everyday.
• Teachers, staff, parents and the Buckeye/Goodyear Community are all team members.
• All team members will engage each other through positive communication and display appropriate behavior.

By reciting these values every morning, posting them prominently in every classroom, referring to them frequently throughout each school day, we emphasize their importance and model our respect for guidelines and rules. At The Odyssey Preparatory Academy we actively seek to create and nurture a culture of academic excellence and ethical behavior that is embraced by all team members. Our bar of expectation is set nothing short of excellence for our scholars, staff, and faculty.

As a school of choice, we acknowledge that the challenges of our academic pacing and our emphasis on individual scholar responsibility can be a new approach to some families, however, our skilled and qualified teachers are adept at meeting the scholars needs regardless of what level they enter an Odyssey School.
