The Out-of-Door Academy has been working diligently to prepare a state-of-the art learning environment at its new Lower School Campus on Clark Road, which will open in August 2024 for students in Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and first grade.  Each classroom will have its own multipurpose outdoor space accompanied by versatile technology enabling students to excel wherever they find their optimal learning environment.  In addition, a partnership with ODA’s Historic Siesta Key Campus (grades PK - 5) and Uihlein Campus in Lakewood Ranch (grades 6-12) will provide students with “a home away from home” and endless opportunities for collaboration. Enrollment is now open for families wishing to “get in on the ground floor” of an Out-of-Door education at the Clark Road Campus.  Next Wednesday, March 6, ODA will host a series of "Welcome Wednesdays" designed to provide an open house experience for anyone interested in seeing the campus, learning more about ODA’s curriculum, or meeting educators who will shape the student experience at the Clark Road Campus. All interested families are invited to attend and no RSVP is necessary. Please contact Mrs. Laura Murphy at lmurphy@oda.edu for more information.  Additional Welcome Wednesday open house events will take place on March 13, 21, and 28, and the school will host an official open house and play day for current and prospective students on April 13 from 9:00-11:00 AM. ODA’s Lower School Campus on Clark Road is located at 11011 State Road 72, Sarasota, FL.
