Odyssey Inc

Odyssey is a multi-summer educational program serving public school students from among Atlanta’s most economically disadvantaged communities. Our motto is “A quest for knowledge, a path to college.” By preserving academic momentum achieved during the school year, Odyssey promotes ambition towards higher education and inspires a love for life-long learning. Serving nearly 400 students in grades 1-12, Odyssey offers a six-week, full-day academic program. Offering hands-on thematic experiences and exposure to a variety of professions, the program is designed to inspire student achievement towards high school graduation and the pursuit of a higher degree.
 
 Odyssey’s program targets “middle third” students—typically from underperforming schools in neighborhoods with fewer resources—who may need the extra push, the nurturing environment, and the sense of community that a multi-year program can provide. Each year, 85% of Odyssey’s students come from the Atlanta Public School system.
