Candidates for the Program
The Odyssey Program seeks well-rounded students who are motivated to pursue academic challenges. Ideal candidates demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities, the capacity to adapt and think creatively in a changing environment, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively when appropriate.
Selection Process
Following the submission of the digital application and required learning reports (Grade 6 and Grade 7), students will be scheduled to write an assessment test on January 8, 2027, from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM in the school cafeteria. Application materials—including the digital application, assessment results, and report cards or learning reports—will be carefully reviewed as part of the selection process.
Selected applicants will be invited to attend student interviews on February 1, 2027, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Only successful candidates will be notified by email during the first and/or second rounds of offers.
Students interested in entering the program during Grade 8 or at a later stage are encouraged to contact the Odyssey Program Coordinator to inquire about availability. Admission at these entry points will be based on a review of student records and the results of various assessment measures. All applications will be evaluated by a committee of representative teachers, who will determine the final selection of candidates.
