The Odyssey School of Denver is a cooperative enterprise: our families, teachers, students, director, and staff share the responsibilities and rewards of operating our school. Parents play essential roles in and out of the classrooms. Our families experience firsthand the school environment, become advocates for their children, and enrich the school community with their ideas, interests, talents, and resources.

Family involvement is a key foundation of the Odyssey School of Denver as families are essential partners in the education of our students. The school requires that all families support their children in learning at home and school, while also being involved in the development of the school. We ask all families to attend Back to School Nights, conferences, Exhibition Nights and fully support our passage process and adventure program. Parents/guardians can volunteer in many ways – in the classroom, on fieldwork or adventure, being a board member, reading volunteer, attending Family Council and more.
