Live instruction runs Monday through Thursday during morning and early afternoon blocks. Middle School students finish their live classes by 12:00 PM, High School (9–10) finishes by 12:30 PM, and High School (11–12) operates on an afternoon schedule starting at 10:30 AM. Fridays are reserved for independent reading, project completion, and family flexibility.

No. Live instruction is delivered in focused 90-minute blocks with active breaks, group breakouts, and independent work built in. Students are not staring at a screen continuously; live blocks are dynamic, interactive, and followed by immediate teacher office hours or offline independent time.

All live sessions are recorded and archived within our student platform. Students can review missed lessons asynchronously, access class notes, and use daily teacher office hours or drop-in tutoring blocks to catch up without falling behind.

Parent involvement decreases as students build independence:

Middle School (6–8): 6 to 8 hours per week focused on organization, tracking home prep, and reviewing core concepts.

Junior High / Early HS (9–10): 4 to 6 hours per week acting as an academic coach to build routines and accountability.

Upper High School (11–12): 2 to 4 hours per week. Parents are in an advisory role centered on reviewing long-term goals, progress, and college/career planning.

Not at all. Our subject-specialist instructors deliver all direct instruction, assign prep work, and grade assignments. Your role as a parent is shepherd and coach—helping your child stay organized, manage their time, and build consistent daily habits.

We build support directly into the school day. Every 90-minute live block is followed by a 30-minute dedicated Office Hours window where students receive direct, small-group help and targeted tutoring while concepts are still fresh.

Core subjects follow an A/B rotation (Math & History on Mon/Wed; Science & ELAR on Tue/Thu). This structure delivers deep, 90-minute immersive blocks that allow for thorough problem-solving, virtual labs, and meaningful discussions without the rush of shortened period shifts.

Learning at Mosaic is active and collaborative. Students engage in live breakout rooms during class and have access to staff-monitored online cohort community rooms. These safe digital spaces allow students to collaborate on projects, socialize, and build lasting friendships with peers.

Research shows older teens thrive with flexible morning blocks that align with their natural circadian rhythms. The 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM window gives upperclassmen dedicated time for independent reading, long-term project prep, university applications, or offline study before joining live instruction.

Screen fatigue is a primary hurdle in online learning. We build non-negotiable 15-minute breaks between core academic blocks to ensure students log off, step away from their devices, stretch, hydrate, and rest their eyes before the next live session begins.

Once live lectures wrap up (1:30 PM for Middle School and 9–10; 3:00 PM for 11–12), students transition into independent practice. This time is used to complete daily problem sets, draft essays, finish lab reports, or drop into instructor office hours for real-time help while concepts are fresh.

No. A 75-minute block is structured as an active learning seminar, not a passive lecture. Direct instruction typically lasts 20–30 minutes, followed by interactive breakout rooms, guided problem-solving, and individual writing or lab work with live teacher guidance.
