our approach

LEARNER DRIVEN EDUCATION

Curiosity, not conformity.


Children naturally possess an innate curiosity and desire to explore the world around them. When we provide them the freedom to pursue their interests, within a framework that still offers a well-rounded education, we nurture that curiosity and create the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. This approach not only fosters a passion for knowledge but also allows students to develop critical real-world skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability.

what to expect

At Apogee Odessa, we are a multi-age private tutoring and enrichment center created to support homeschooling families in their unique educational journeys. We believe a lasting love of learning is cultivated when parents remain the primary educators in their child’s life.

Our approach draws inspiration from Montessori principles, Socratic dialogue, and Waldorf education—emphasizing curiosity, creativity, and purpose-driven learning. Learners engage in core academics at their own pace, project-based exploration, and meaningful discussions that build critical thinking and confidence.

We also prioritize real-world life skills and time in nature, recognizing their importance in a child’s holistic development. Through collaborative group work, older learners take on leadership roles by mentoring younger peers in a “See One, Do One, Teach One” (SODOTO) model. This supportive and flexible environment helps learners grow into independent, capable, and mission-minded young people.

  • No homework-ever

a day at apogee odessa

At Apogee Odessa, our daily rhythm is intentionally designed to offer structure with flexibility, allowing young participants the freedom to move organically through activities without the constraints of a traditional bell schedule. Each morning begins with a warm welcome — eye contact and a handshake — to foster respect, responsibility, and a strong sense of community. We then join together for the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer, creating a moment of grounding and gratitude.
Throughout the day, learners engage in purposeful exploration, hands-on projects, and meaningful discussions that build critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Academic development is integrated into the experience at each child’s individual pace, encouraging ownership of learning and confidence in their progress. Our environment supports self-direction, curiosity, and deep personal growth.
Below are just a few of the experiences and opportunities that regularly take place on our campus:

  • socratic discussions
