Classical Emphasis

Odyssey Charter School believes that the best way to produce students who will be independent learners for life is through a classical education. A classical education uses history as its organizing outline, beginning with the ancients and progressing forward to the moderns in history, science, literature, art and music. Elementary students learn as many concepts as they can, emphasizing Western and world culture. These concepts are the basis of a life of learning.

OCS will implement curricula that provide students with both the content and pedagogy that are directed by our philosophy. 

Classical Education, enhanced by the Core Knowledge Sequence by E.D. Hirsch

Research-proven curricula such as: Saxon Math, and Spalding.

All students placed in achievement groups according to individual testing.

Instruction in Foreign Language, Music, Logic (in higher grades), and Arts.

State Core Curriculum

As a Utah Public Charter School, Odyssey conforms to the Utah State Core Curriculum guidelines.

The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of content in language arts, history, geography, science, and the fine arts, spanning grades K-8. You may be familiar with the “What Your (Kindergartner – 8th Grader) Needs to Know” series of books, widely available in stores. These are parent guides for the Core Knowledge outline.
