Big Changes Have Come to the Northern Virginia Odyssey of the Mind Program

The Odyssey of the Mind program in Northern Virginia has grown significantly. Therefore, starting in the 2011-2012 season, Regions 8 and 13 have split to form Regions 9, 11, and 12.

Check out the New NoVA Regional Boundaries further down the page for further details.

Northern Virginia Odyssey of the Mind has revised its boundaries. Regions 8 and 13 have now split into three new regions. Click the image below to enlarge it.

NoVA Regional Boundaries

In Fairfax County, these regions are defined by the school system clusters and the high school feeder pyramids as summarized below. Regional placement for private schools in Fairfax County is determined by the school’s address. In other words, if you lived at the school which high school would you attend? This can be determined using the Fairfax County website: http://boundary.fcps.edu/boundary/
