• Imagine a Living History Curriculum for Grades K-8

    The Odyssey Program is a history focus option for Portland Public Schools (PPS) housed at East Sylvan in SW Portland.

    This unique learning experience offers experiential learning where students explore literature, writing, science, geography, art, drama and more through the exciting lens of role-playing in a series of historical eras. The program includes visual and performing arts, extended field studies, team-based learning, leadership training, and multi-age classrooms for grades K-1-2, 3-4-5 and 6-7-8. It is a small, motivated learning community with rigorous academics emphasizing problem solving, communication skills, and discovery. Students are guided by award winning teachers and a highly active parent/volunteer community, and the program has a history of excellent results where students have consistently outperformed district averages on all benchmark exams.
