What is ENGAGEMENT at Mosaic Preparatory Academy?

At Mosaic Preparatory Academy, all scholars are intellectually engaged in content through well-designed learning tasks and activities that promote opportunities for curiosity and joy that speaks to the identity and culture of the community-driven by student choice and voice aligned to the state standards. Our goal is to empower our scholars to see themselves in a diverse world and influence sustainable change that promotes equity and social justice. 

 Instructional Focus

Teachers will engage in a series of professional development activities and work collaboratively to reflect, plan, and differentiate instruction based on student data that is engaging and motivating to scholars. The latter will develop grade-level proficiency in reading and writing across the curriculum and increase performance on state and local assessments in our scholars.
