Graduation Requirements
Odyssey Academy offers four diploma tracks: Honors, College Preparatory, General and Basic Skillsl. All students are projected for a college-prep track until it becomes apparent that circumstances render it impossible to achieve.
Odyssey Academy's honors and college preparatory courses of study are designed to prepare students for university or college . However, because each college or university has its own entrance requirements, the student will want to consult with the school of his or her choice to tailor a high school program which meets the specific requirements of that institution.
