Students meet regularly with other students and teachers through virtual meetings to discuss assigned topics and to present the work they've been doing.
Odyssey teachers provide instruction via Zoom/recorded videos, provide feedback and assign coursework.

Teachers select curriculum (with parent input) for certain subject areas and work independently on assignments and projects.
Teachers and students meet one-on-one or in small group weekly to review student's progress to ensure all standards are being met.
Students are required to meet weekly assignment requirements and deadlines.
Students present projects and coursework to teachers for grading.
Odyssey offers the FLEX Course option for core subject areas and electives.

Students wishing to take courses online may do so through the Wisconsin Virtual School (WVS).
- Through WVS, students have access to hundreds of courses in all subject areas, including electives.
- WVS courses are a good option for students needing credits for courses that may not be available through Odyssey Academy instructors (for example, physical education or foreign language).
WVS courses are self-guided and self-paced. Students have access to all course materials through an online platform and complete coursework and assignments at a pace and schedule that works best for them.
Odyssey teachers and Statewide instructors are available for support in these courses.

Students have the flexibility to take up to two courses per semester at their local middle/high school.
Students work with school staff to select courses and create their schedule while in the school building.
- Students attend the course during scheduled time frame and work on all other coursework from home before or after scheduled courses.
Courses are instructed by teaching staff at local building. These instructors evaluate student's work and assign grades based on local school standards/guidelines.
