All Odyssey students are supported to successfully complete their History, Science, Language Arts, Literature and Art studies, which include many exciting writing, research, simulation, performance and field study activities.

Odyssey students are provided with a rich historical context for their learning. At the beginning of the school year, students form teaming groups and work hard to prepare their teams for the great adventure of becoming the real people of their historical time period by simulating their real-life experiences. In team-based History study, teams read historical sources, working cooperatively to respond to the history reading and writing focus questions. A team writing focus may take more than one class session to finish, as teams work at different paces. Cluster teachers conference with each team, helping the students to arrive at meaningful and complete responses to the questions. Teams finish any incomplete responses and are re-evaluated by the teacher, thus ending the team cycle for that writing focus. At the end of each unit of study, a cluster teacher helps each team complete a review of the essential concepts studied. Then every team member individually completes a History post test.

At the end of each unit of study, the typical cluster schedule, in place from the beginning of the year, is flexed to include time necessary for the culminating activities of that unit of study. During these last weeks of the Unit, students complete the remaining enrichment activities for this period, celebrating the culmination of their unit studies with a mid-year performance piece. Students present this program to the entire Odyssey Community.

Student teams study two or three integrated units each year, developed around an historical theme. Units culminate in performance-based activities in winter and an extended field study trip in late spring. Students explore the following themes:

Change and Continuity in American Democracy: Ideas, Institutions, Practices, and Controversies
