Our Message
Nurturing Self-Confidence
in our Future Generation
At Odyssey, we cultivate a learning environment that empowers children to take initiative outside the influence of adult opinions, allowing them to independently make their own decisions and actions. I often hear from parents, "I want my child to speak with confidence, but how should I approach them?" and "I want my child to be active internationally in the future!" Children have more communication skills than we initially imagine, at Odyssey we value each child's personality and individuality the most. In addition, our staff, who are active professionals in various fields both domestically and internationally, are here to assist you in fostering your child's confidence through open and meaningful dialogue.

Valuing Children's Opinions
In our program, we highly value the child's developmental journey of autonomous thought and action.

Through this process we aim to cultivate the child's confidence and self-autonomy.
