Mission: To expand the ambitions of atlanta students and empower them on a successful journey to college and a fulfilling career.
Programs: Odyssey high. Served 115 in rising grades 9-12 during the course of 5 weeks (daily from 8am-3pm). Odyssey's engaging atmosphere encourages students to enhance their skills both inside and outside the classroom. We hire highly qualified and award-winning teachers from all across atlanta who teach an academic curriculum grounded in reading, writing, and math through design thinking and project-based learning. Each grade level curriculum is founded on a theme; this theme helps govern what texts are taught, what field trips are attended, and what projects are completed. By providing the summer bridge learning experience for this group of students who would not otherwise have access (predominately minority and low-income), odyssey ensures that students not only avoid a loss of academic skills, but also, are able to get a jump on the next school year.
