Academics

Educational Philosophy

At ODA, our superior academics are defined by unique programs that cultivate the development of the whole child. Across all three divisions, we provide learning opportunities that transcend the walls of the traditional classroom to better prepare our students to live, learn, lead, and succeed in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
Our rigorous program is led by caring professionals who are experts in their fields. Classes feature individualized instruction, project-based collaboration, and a constantly evolving curriculum. ODA's focus on student-centered learning empowers students to be lifelong learners. Our well-balanced blend of academics, athletics, and the arts allows students to pursue their passion while gaining fundamental life skills.
