Middle School

Middle School Cohort:

6th - 8th Grade

Middle school is a key time when students ask big questions about identity, belonging, and how power works in the world. To guide this journey, our Navigate Cohort draws deep inspiration from innovators who demonstrated undeniable genius during these exact years of life. Whether channeling the early literary mastery of Phillis Wheatley and Langston Hughes, the fearless voice of Audre Lorde, the creative brilliance of Stevie Wonder, or the modern, boundary-breaking achievements of Marley Dias and Zaila Avant-garde, we show our students that their potential does not have to wait for adulthood. Following in their footsteps, students in our engaging online classes read diverse, powerful stories to see how everyday people have stood up to unfair systems. This helps them understand history and empowers them to claim their own place as thoughtful leaders right now.

Parent Role: Guide

Active Time Investment - 5 to 7 hours a week.

Your role is to help your student stay organized and on track. You’ll use this time to check their prep work at home and review tricky concepts together so live class time is as hands on as possible.

Lower High School

Lower High School Cohort:

9th - 10th Grade

As students enter high school, they explore the powerful connection between their personal identity and the communities they belong to. Our Lower High School Cohort draws inspiration from visionaries who mapped their own extraordinary paths during these pivotal teenage years. From the prolific early output of Gwendolyn Brooks and the fearless determination of Maya Angelou and Ida B. Wells, to the early civic leadership of John Lewis and modern trailblazers like Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman and Hollywood producer Marsai Martin, we show our students what is possible when young people step into their authority. Inspired by their legacy, 9th and 10th graders in our engaging online classes read diverse, rigorous texts to understand how society, culture, and personal values shape who they are. Through this deep exploration, they learn how to use their unique voices to create positive change for themselves and others.

Parent Role: Coach

Active Time Investment: 4-6 hours a week

Junior high students are expected to start carrying the study load on their own while parents transition into a supportive coaching role. Requiring 4 to 6 hours per week of active time investment, parents help set up routines, review assignment progress, and keep students accountable as they build independence, offering guidance and encouragement whenever tricky challenges arise.

Upper High School

Upper High School Cohort:

11th - 12th Grade

In their final years at Mosaic, students tackle big questions about what it means to be human and the realities of the American Dream. To fuel this work, our Upper Highschool Cohort looks to brilliant visionaries who demonstrated extraordinary independent vision and leadership during their late teens. From the early literary genius of James Baldwin and Octavia E. Butler, to the teenage activism and scholarship of Lorraine Hansberry and Martin Luther King Jr., alongside modern trailblazers like inventor Dasia Taylor and activist Yara Shahidi, we show our upperclassmen that they have the power to reshape society right now. Inspired by these giants, 11th and 12th graders in our flexible online classes read complex texts to explore shared human experiences across different cultures, asking how technology and society impact our humanity. They use these deep discussions to shape their own values and confidently make choices that will impact the real world.

Parent Role: Guide

Active Time Investment - 2-4 hours a week.

High school students are expected to take full ownership of their intellectual preparation. The parent steps back into an advisory role—reviewing long-term goals, discussing grades, and helping students analyze their paths to map fulfilling, unrestricted futures.
