Odyssey Fourth Avenue uses the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), authorised in May 2019, which integrates international early-childhood and preschool education under inquiry-based learning. The school also offers Chinese Immersion, meaning every class has a designated Chinese Language teacher alongside English instruction. They follow age-grouped levels from infant care (8–17 months), preschool/early years (18 months to ~3 years), preschool years, and kindergarten up to 6 years of age. A key feature is also the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, focusing on exploratory, self-directed learning and using the environment, including outdoor and creative studio spaces, as part of learning.

The school’s IB PYP curriculum includes the Learner Profile, which addresses aspects of personal, social, emotional development, such as caring for others, being principled, reflective, communicators, and open-minded. The outdoor and creative environments such as the Atelier, Piazza, Children’s Museum, and outdoor learning spaces provide settings that encourage peer collaboration, emotional regulation through play, and self-expressive activities.

If the desired campus is not hosting visits or if families wish to waitlist, they may indicate this by entering “Waitlist Us” in the remarks field.

3. Once a visit or tour is scheduled, the school confirms via email. Parents are advised to check junk or spam folders for this confirmation.
