ODA Fast Facts
Three Campuses
We invite you to explore our campuses—the dynamic spaces where the transformative work of providing an ODA education takes place. These places harness the energy of our students and educators, fueling meaningful, challenging, and purpose-driven growth experiences.
Our tailored Curriculum
At Out-of-Door, our academic programs are designed to challenge students, offering them opportunities to explore and conquer their own boundaries, while providing them with the support needed to succeed.
We seek to develop 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.
Explore more about our curriculum in the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School.
