Our Mission 

The Odyssey Charter School’s mission is to prepare students for a lifelong enthusiasm for learning, a keen awareness of world citizenship, and an ability to think independently and creatively through participation in a focused foreign language program.  The curriculum integrates the learning of a second language, along with the English language, to teach a rigorous curriculum of reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.

Our Goals and Educational Objectives

To provide Odyssey Charter School students an enriched learning environment that will:

·       Enable children to excel academically by providing an innovative and standards based curriculum, while developing strong thinking and problem solving skills.

·       Enhance each student’s understanding of Math, English, Science, and other Western languages by utilizing the Modern Greek language as a vehicle to explore the roots of vocabulary, mathematical concepts, and scientific theories.

.      Significantly strengthen the mathematical comprehension and performance of students by devoting two blocks of instructional time (taught in Greek and English) to this essential core subject.

.        Help children develop a broader world view through exposure to other cultures.

·        Teach children the value of citizenship and help children develop an appreciation for democracy and diversity. 

·         Respect and nurture each child’s special qualities while helping them feel valued and eager to succeed. 

·       Engender greater community involvement in various phases of the education process, including tutoring, mentoring, classroom instruction, and field enrichment trips.

Who We Are

The Odyssey Charter School is a non-profit 501(c)(3) education-based organization managed by a Governing Board and By-Laws within prescribed guidelines as authorized under State of Delaware Department of Education regulations for charter schools.

Supporting the efforts of the Odyssey Charter School Board is a significant and well-respected organization, the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA). The AHEPA, a non-profit philanthropic organization founded in 1922, continually pursues the development of new and more responsive ways to create a better learning environment for children of today and tomorrow. This charitable foundation offers scholarships on a broad, national basis to a wide variety of students to promote an awareness of the principles of Hellenism to people outside the Greek-American community, and believes that its ideals should be experienced by all for generations to come.
