The Language Arts Department is full of reading, writing, and sharing. In each grade, each teacher is dedicated to the education of every child in reading and writing. At Odyssey, our teachers use research-driven reading and writing strategies to bring out the fullest potential in all students. Our curriculum progresses from one grade to another; each year becoming increasingly more challenging. We also offer an advanced language arts class which has a separate curriculum with an elevated academic rigor. It is expected that students will complete much of their reading assignments outside of class, which allows students to spend more time on critical thinking activities.
