Odyssey School

The 8th graders have returned from their Japan Capstone Expedition! Welcome back, students!

💆 This is your friendly reminder to slow down and take a breath this holiday season.

Whether it's lying down and enjoying a moment in Ragnar Kjartansson's video installation, "The Visitors" (like .dont.carrie) or taking a seat in front Wu Tsang's "Of Whales" (2022) in the Atrium, we welcome you to take some time for yourself at the museum.

Three days a week, Odyssey students participate in Field Class, an afternoon class born from the “pandemic days” and the need to be away from closed classrooms. Outdoors on trails, clearings, riverbeds and summits (attainable within a short afternoon hike) students can explore and study the unique ecosystems in which we are so lucky to live. The Peninsula is a phenomenal place to hike with dozens of parks and trails within a short driving distance of campus!🌲🥾 🌞🌦️🦋🦌🦉
