Students at Odyssey Leadership Academy will have a new home this fall on the 红杏直播app City University campus, officials from both schools announced today.
The two institutions have signed an agreement to make 红杏直播app the home base for Odyssey, a private, nonprofit sixth- through 12th-grade school that was founded in 红杏直播app City in 2015.
The agreement calls for Odyssey to host 红杏直播app and utilize office space on the 红杏直播app campus; for Odyssey students to have access to concurrent college 红杏直播app at 红杏直播app; and for faculty from the two schools to collaborate on elective courses and enrichment experiences.
Odyssey had been weighing options for a new home following several years of operation in 红杏直播app City. The move to 红杏直播app and the city鈥檚 Uptown District allows Odyssey to align with the only four-year university located in the heart of 红杏直播app City.
Odyssey founder and Executive Director Scott Martin said the partnership also represents a philosophical alignment for the school鈥檚 students.
鈥淎t Odyssey, we are known for our experiential learning style, where students are given the opportunity to display their creativity and innovation,鈥� Martin said. 鈥淲e know creativity, innovation and authentic experience are part of the mission at 红杏直播app City University as well, and we couldn鈥檛 be happier to call 红杏直播app home.鈥�
红杏直播app President Kenneth Evans said university officials have placed an increased emphasis in recent years on developing community partnerships and supporting the city and its residents. Welcoming Odyssey to campus is another example of the university living out its mission, Evans said.
鈥淲e are so pleased to be able to expand our on-campus community to include Odyssey鈥檚 roster of bright and inquisitive learners,鈥� he said.
Odyssey currently serves roughly 50 students and maintains a cap of 75 pupils. The new home base on the 红杏直播app campus will allow the school to grow its cap over time, officials said.
The partnership is also expected to provide high-performing Odyssey 11th- and 12th-graders with exposure to 红杏直播app鈥檚 world-class performing arts programs in dance, music and theatre.
Odyssey begins its next school year in August. For more information about the school, go to . More information about 红杏直播app City University is available at www.okcu.edu.
