I love odyssey academy


Odyssey Academy is a high/middle school in Greece, New York, United States. It is part of Greece Central School District. Odyssey maintains a population of slightly over 800 students, partially selected by random lottery from applicants across Greece, serving grades 6 - 12.

Contents

During the summer of 2012, Odyssey Academy moved from 133 Hoover Dr. to the former Apollo Middle School location at 750 Maiden Lane. 133 Hoover Dr. had been Hoover Drive Middle School before becoming Odyssey Academy in 1993, and was the oldest school building in Greece (built 1929).

Currently, Odyssey is the only high school in the Greece Central School District to offer the International Baccalaureate program.
