Apogee Odessa
Our education center serves as an alternative to the "traditional" school model with a hands-on, student led learning environment. We have modeled our philosophy after the one room school house. The only time in our lives that we are divided in to age groups is in the traditional school environment. We believe that mixed age pods is a healthier approach, allowing students to develop both academically and socially, while learning how to work with others of varying ages and backgrounds. We emphasize physical, mental and nutritional health through a variety of programs. The families we serve share common core values, ensuring that the environment allows children to embark on their curiosity and natural love of learning.
Apogee Odessa Lives by a Code:
We live by a code and our program instills these values through every day interactions:
Integrity, Bravery, Honor, Compassion, Politeness, Honesty, and Loyalty.
Beyond this code—and above all—we are faith-driven. Apogee Odessa stands on an unwavering foundation of
Faith, Family, and Country, shaping everything we do.

Tim’s hard work and passion have resulted in an extraordinary life. Green Beret, UFC Fighter, and Television Host are all among his career highlights, but perhaps not as personally meaningful as Husband, Father, and Patriot. Tim is a great example of being unapologetically American!
