Odyssey Academy is a free public charter school from Prek until 12th grade. We've been here since…read moreday 1 and watched them grow-they now have schools in Galveston (the main), El Lago and Texas City. My kids all went here and our experience at OA has been great, from the students, staff, teachers and admins. The only thing we didn't like was there was no auditorium for events or an actual gym for students to use. Also they no longer have the middle school graduation or awards ceremony that I used to look forward to in May.

I love the ocean . Water in general really. Those Sea Hunt and Jacques Cousteau episodes of my…read morechildhood ignited a life long passion for anything ocean. In highschool I learned to scuba dive and immediately began searching for any body of water deep enough to submerge. After highschool I wanted nothing to do with college but,I'd promised my grandmother. The only thing that truly interested me was the ocean. So after much research on schools offering such courses of study,I landed on Texas A&M Moody College of Marine Science. I didn't even visit. Just applied,was accepted and moved to Galveston. It's still a small campus but power packed. The hard earned reputation of being an excellent university extends to this campus located on an island adjacent to Galveston proper. I could not have asked for a better learning experience or environment to learn in. My physics professor went on to become President of The entire Texas A&M system if this gives an idea of the quality there . Fantastic School Note: Maria W. Gave a highly critical and unwarranted First review,based on many assumptions and her own imagined bias. I have ask the Yelp Powers that be to remove this as it's not in the Yelp spirit. * I just received an email Yelp decided not to remove this shitty review?

If you're an Aggie freak and want a more personal campus than the main location in College Station,…read morecome here. But the catch is, since it's located on its own island, all of the majors are centered around guess what marine life. How nice is that? So if you plan on becoming a doctor or anything in the medical field, you'll need to major in marine biology or sciences. If your interested in engineering, they have marine engineering. And the list goes on... The school caters most to freshmen as you can as if you were a transfer student, you could only transfer in 24 credits and most of them have to be liberal arts, no sciences. Yippee!! Also, the campus is dull, tiny, and looks and feels raggedy. I'm sure Raggedy Ann and Andy would love to call this their new home. No greenery, scenery, or beautiful art nor architecture. Just construction and Galveston beach. This university is home to more male residents than females. The same traditions they hold high at TA&M main is the exact same as this location and they claim the Corpus Christi, Commerce, West Texas, Kingsville, Prairie View, Tarleton, Central Texas, and etc isn't the same. Even the games, all that the same. Well, maybe not you may get more diversity in the student body than at the main campus. The campus tour was average Abe, I wouldn't wanna tour it anymore. As the building looked dull and lifeless. With tuition being so high, the least they can do is make the campus look more attractive. Even the visitor centre looked and felt dirty, old, and antiquity. Our tour guide was average, even though he was a senior he acted as if he didn't know much about the campus. Lots of uhs and asked a question. Oh yeah, this is strictly a dry campus. No one can have alcohol, not even if you are above the drinking age and not freshmen. I'm so glad I'm not into living the Aggie's dream in order survive on this earth.

If I could give no stars I would. When this school found out I was being harmed by a fellow student…read morenot only did they give me no support but allowed him to continue harming me and fellow students with no consequences. This school has a toxic culture from the administration all the way down to the students. Please do not send your children here they will come out of it with little to no life skills and a whole lot of emotional baggage. All this school cares about is getting more money from parents and sponsors. If you give enough money and your family is important enough your child can get away with anything here. There was a serious black mold problem as well and they put crosses on it instead of calling a professional. I have serious asthma that got worse going to this school.
