The curriculum at Odyssey is inspired by some of the most renowned teaching pedagogies from the United States, the United Kingdom and the Reggio Emilia approach from Northern Italy.

Celebrating the expressions of a child’s learning journey
Speech is not the only language through which children express themselves. It is just one of the many languages that they use to convey their thoughts, understanding and creativity. And, this very idea inspired Odyssey to honour the different ways in which children represent their ideas and perspectives.
