School Notes
- Odyssey Day School, located in Wakefield, MA, is a vibrant and fully accredited independent school that believes in empowering children to be "out-of-the-box thinkers" through a distinctive experiential and theme-based educational approach.
- Serving students from infants through Grade 8, Odyssey is dedicated to fostering natural curiosity, enthusiasm, and critical thinking skills that will serve children throughout their lives.At the heart of Odyssey's philosophy is a commitment to engaging the whole child, promoting social, emotional, academic, and physical development within a safe, nurturing, and inclusive community.
- The school believes that when children feel accepted, connected, and loved, they gain the confidence to take intellectual risks and grow into empathetic and imaginative thinkers.
- The moment your child enters the doors of Odyssey Day School they embark on an educational journey. Much like the legendary hero, Odysseus, from whose story we take our name, your child will voyage to new places, meet new people, and learn much about themselves and the world around them.
- At Odyssey, we focus on the whole child with theme-based education that empowers our students to become active, engaged, excited, life-long learners. During their time with us, students are equipped with all the tools they need to establish their own goals and are challenged to meet and exceed those goals through experiential, hands-on learning.
- Our progressive approach to learning focuses on practical, tangible knowledge that goes far beyond books and worksheets, empowering students to take what they learn in the classroom, apply it to their everyday lives, and ultimately, become socially and globally aware citizens.
- The educational journey at Odyssey is different from the experience at many other schools. We know all children are unique, and we work to help them succeed at their own pace in a nurturing environment that also challenges them to do more than they thought possible. We invite students at Odyssey to discover what makes them unique and what excites them about learning. Quite simply, we love your children. Whether an infant or an eighth grader, we want them to have fun and we want them to love learning.
- Our teachers know that their job is not to just give information, but to fan the spark of curiosity in the heart and mind of each child.
- We know that your child will love learning here. We look forward to meeting you and exploring what your child`s educational odyssey could be.

School Reviews
5 1/29/2015
My daughter has attended ODS since 1st grade. Currently a 4th grader she loves school especially music (they are doing recorder), computer programming, math and when they do yoga in gym class. She runs hard at daily recess and comes home telling me of guest speakers, older students who came into a class to share their knowledge and of all the amazing projects she is working on in group work. The school has offered the progressive, student focused education I was looking for at a price I could afford. I love the community we have at ODS and would highly recommend it to everyone!
