Mosaic High School offers instruction in three formats.
The first format is an individualized curriculum that allows students to work at their own pace following a syllabus and specific assignment sheet for each course.
The second is also individualized; however, instruction is delivered via a mastery-learning program called Apex On-Line Learning.
The third format is called seminar. Seminars meet for a block of time everyday for the duration of a Progress Report Period (PRP).
These classes have a more formal structure with direct teacher instruction, utilizing differentiated instruction methods to meet student-learning needs. Progress reports (report cards) are done every twenty days and students must meet minimum requirements in order to remain enrolled. Student transcripts are sent home at the end of each trimester so students and parents/guardians are aware of the number of credits earned toward graduation. Twenty-two credits, which includes specific Michigan Merit Curriculum courses, are required to earn a Chippewa Hills School District Diploma.
Mosaic school also has one self-contained classroom to serve students in 8th grade. This classroom is not self-paced or individualized; however, these teachers also utilize differentiated instruction to meet the unique learning needs of at-risk adolescents. Students who qualify may also utilize the Apex On-Line Learning program to complete core subjects in order to enable them to get back on track academically with their peers. Progress reports are done every six weeks, with formal report cards sent home each trimester.
Mosaic School offers many alternatives to our students and is a very caring and supportive environment. Students get more one-on-one attention and the atmosphere is very different from a traditional junior/senior high school.
