To ensure diversity, The Odyssey School's enrollment policy includes a low income preference. Children meeting federal guidelines for free and reduced lunch receive lottery preference. Moreover, The Odyssey School developers believed it was important to place the school in a diverse community. Consequently, the Odyssey School is located in northeast Denver's Park Hill neighborhood. The interest and energy of parents helped create The Odyssey School and will help The Odyssey School thrive.
Research shows that family involvement is a crucial factor in successful learning.
In addition to serving on one of The Odyssey School's parent committees, each family will volunteer for activities such as reading with children, becoming involved in expeditions of particular interest, collecting or creating classroom materials, typing stories or transcripts, and participating on clean-up days. This lets family members support the school in ways that are convenient and that capitalize on each person's special talents and pursuits. Our school is also guided by our Family Council. Our Governing Board is responsible for establishing policies and serving as the school's fiscal agent. Visiting The Odyssey School Students and parents interested in learning more about our school are welcome to visit and meet with our Director, Van Schoales .
