Welcome to our Community.

"Welcome to Odyssey Charter Intermediate School, where every student’s journey is filled with discovery, growth, and possibility.

Inspired by the epic journeys of ancient Greece, we believe that each child has unique strengths, talents, and potential waiting to be discovered. At Odyssey, we are committed to preparing every student for academic excellence and global citizenship by honoring diversity, practicing equity, and building a restorative and inclusive school community. Grounded in the principles of Filotimo -- living with honor, integrity, kindness, and purpose — we develop critical thinkers and future leaders through a rigorous focus on Mathematics, Modern Greek, and meaningful learning experiences.

Learning at Odyssey extends far beyond the classroom. Our students explore new ideas, ask thoughtful questions, embrace challenges, and connect their learning to the world around them. Along the way, they grow not only as scholars, but also as compassionate leaders, responsible citizens, and supportive friends.

What makes Odyssey truly special is our community. Together, students, families, teachers, and staff create a welcoming environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential."
