Mosaic Academy is creative, staffed by dedicated professionals who love what they do. They are still educating students in vital ways.
—Submitted by a teacher


Posted December 19, 2008

My daughter began attending Mosaic when it was established in 2006 (5th grade). This school teaches students concepts and enables each student to apply those concepts in a variety of situations rather 'teaching to the test'. Because teachers don't rely on textbooks, both students and teachers are required to employ a multitude of resources to study a given subject - just like in the professional world, there is no short answer in a text book! She has been exposed to a variety of ideas, concepts, situations and I feel she is receiving an education that will allow her to be productive in anything she attempts.
