Mars Track
Mars needs more than engineers. It needs people who can keep the peace there.
Odyssey's Mars Track formally begins at age 12. Students commit to cultural specialization aimed at the multicultural Mars colonies of the 2050s.
The Mars Frame
In 25 years, your child could be the diplomat who keeps Mars peaceful.
The first Mars colonies will be filled with the most ambitious, restless people from every country on Earth, crammed into close quarters with neighbors whose values and ways of life are completely foreign to their own. Most colonies in human history have failed because the people running them couldn't get along. Mars won't be different. Odyssey raises the kids who'll keep the peace.
