Our daughter has been attending Odyssey School since Pre-K and is now entering the 4th grade. We couldn't be happier with our experience at this remarkable institution. From the beginning, the teachers and staff have provided an incredibly supportive environment for our daughter. They encourage her to be herself and explore her interests, which has been instrumental in her growth and development. The school’s commitment to nurturing each child’s individuality and potential is evident in every interaction.Our daughter has thrived intellectually, developing a genuine love for learning. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about teaching, which inspires the students to delve deeper into their studies.What sets Odyssey apart is its holistic approach to education. The emphasis on social-emotional learning is woven seamlessly into the daily routine, helping students develop empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of self. Our daughter feels safe and valued, which has boosted her confidence and overall well-being.We are incredibly grateful to be part of the Odyssey family and look forward to many more years of growth and learning.

We came to Odyssey after relocating to Asheville and found such a warm and inclusive community! While they don't have specific special education programs, the small class size allowed for instructional differentiation to meet kids where they are, whether they need more help or more of a challenge. I never thought we would choose a private school but Odyssey has created a community that values equity and diversity, a focus on whole child education and lots of time outdoors in nature which I hadn't found anywhere else. Odyssey attracts top-notch teachers. They prepared my older child well enough to get into a competitive STEM-based high school and fostered a love of the arts in my younger child through their top-notch music and arts programs. Odyssey is such a special and unique school in Asheville and we have made life-long friends there.

Odyssey Community School is an exceptional learning environment. Our middle school-er feels challenged academically and also supported as a young adult. Teachers are kind and caring, and focus on the learning needs of students.

Odyssey has been wonderful for our high school son. He is growing emotionally and socially and is being challenged academically. We are very impressed with the teachers, administration, small class size, and integrative approach. We also love the Wednesday experiential days!

This is the third year our child has been at Odyssey, and we absolutely love it. Odyssey focuses on an integrative model of education that focuses not only on academics but also the emotional, social , and spiritual (not religious) development of children as well. The school community is warm and welcoming and recognizes the individuality of each student. Through the compassion and respect the children learn, they seem to thrive in this environment and the joy and love of learning seems to thrive here as well.

Great school, administrators and dedicated teachers! Small class size allows flexibility allowing students to thrive! Emphasis is on well-rounded, integrated learning environment that takes the whole child into consideration. One of the best schools in the area!
