Collaborative At-Home & On-Campus Learning

Odyssey Charter Schools - Independent Study Program

The Independent Study Program at Odyssey Charter Schools centers learning at home, supported by optional on-campus days that provide opportunities for connection, collaboration and shared learning. Designed for students in Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten (K) and First Grade (1st), the program pairs family-supported learning with guidance from a credentialed teacher while maintaining connection to a broader school community.

Designed For Today’s Families

Odyssey recognizes the need for adaptable educational pathways. The Independent Study Program expands access beyond Altadena and Pasadena while offering a more flexible entry point for young learners who may not yet be ready for full-time school.
