Admission
Thank you for your interest in the Odyssey School! The staff and I are eager to help you learn about our academics, programs and student life. We look forward to working with you as you get to know our programs, and as we get to know you and your child.
Sincerely,
Kate Jewell
Dean of Admissions
Odyssey School serves 5th-12th grade.
We look forward to getting to know your child in detail and in person. Students who apply must meet these criteria first:
- The student must have a documented learning disability.
- The student must have an average to above-average intelligence quotient.
- The student’s enrollment will have a positive or neutral effect on the school
community and learning experiences of other students, rather than a negative one.
Our application process has 3 steps: conversation, application, and three-day visit. If you are interested in enrolling your child for the following school year, we recommend that you apply between October - March, so that there is enough time to move through the process and have your student do their three day visit.
1. Conversation

Please tell us about your child: age, grade, and a very brief description of his or her learning needs. Please also provide a name, email, and phone number to contact parent or guardian. The Dean of Admissions will contact you to learn more about your child and answer your questions about Odyssey School.

3. Visit
After having a conversation and completing an application packet, our admissions committee will extend an opportunity for your child to do a three-day visit at Odyssey School.
Your child will be warmly welcomed and introduced to peers, and will follow a normal schedule with a selected group of students. They may bring work from home or join in the current classwork. Over the three-day visit, your family and our faculty will have time to fully explore the fit.
Once the three-day visit is completed, Odyssey faculty and staff will carefully consider the application and make a decision. We hope to welcome you and your child into our caring, connected community.
