Odyssey London The Global Preschool

We know that a child’s formative early years are fundamental to their future health, wellbeing and development, laying the foundations that shape the rest of their life. 

That is why we created the exclusive Odyssey The Global Preschool – an award-winning international early learning concept designed to inspire young global citizens.

A few words from Kelly Hor, Director of Odyssey, regarding the Odyssey London Campus: 

Kelly Hor, Director of Odyssey: 

“At Odyssey London, the journey of ‘Learning without Boundaries’ will be at the heart of every child’s, parent’s, and educator’s experience. For our children, this means becoming directors of their own learning in an emergent environment that empowers them to be competent, global learners of the 21st century. For our educators, the Odyssey experience is supported by a robust professional development program that ensures our team in London embodies the same culture, passion, and excellence that define the best-in-class pedagogues globally. And for our parents and families, it means joining an inclusive school community where they embark on this enriching learning journey alongside their children, strengthening the bonds of growth and discovery.”

Differentiated and personalised learning

Each child’s learning journey is unique and continuously evolving to support every child to be the best they can be.

Best-in-class pedagogies

We promote an educational culture of collaboration, focusing on the child as an active and competent learning, inspired by Reggio Emilia and best practice global teaching pedagogies.

Citizens of the world

Nurturing open-minded, curious, confident, empowered, independent inquirers and global citizens.

Our Journey

Inspired by the open-ended, child-centered learning philosophy of Reggio Emilia, our founding team explored the innovative and powerful practice-based theory in early childhood education.

In 2008, the quest to create a unique early childhood pedagogy led to the launch of our first Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool in Singapore.

Odyssey empowers children through premium experiences and personalised programmes that help to develop a love of learning, confidence, independence, and physical and emotional wellbeing.

The success of Odyssey is now enjoyed by families across six campuses in Singapore, one in Malaysia and now also in our newest campus in London, England.
