Mission Statement
MOSAICS Public School exists to be a center of innovation. Students engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math through a relevant, rigorous curriculum, preparing them to be creative and critical thinkers now and in the future. Teachers, students, and families partner together to create a safe, collaborative culture where students learn through experimentation and application. Students and staff work alongside community members through service learning to improve society.
The Four C's
Project-based learning through interactive classrooms helps to support the development of students.
Our Core Values
Success Begins with Failure
Success Begins with Failure
Success in life is achieved through persistence and tenacity. Failure is an opportunity to grow and learn. At MOSAICS, we understand rigor requires failure. Students are encouraged to strive for new understandings, to take risks, and to learn from their mistakes. Through reflection and the design thinking process, students refine their ideas and learning as they embark on their learning journeys. Failures are simply seen as the stepping stones to success.
Community Stewardship
Community Stewardship
No one is an island unto themselves. We live in communities. Community stewardship means to understand the dynamics of our communities and to find the ways in which we can contribute to building a better community. At MOSAICS, we have students focus on identifying their communities, both inside and outside the walls of the school. We expect our students to take ownership of their school and contribute to the greater community through service, advocacy, and building relationships.
Valuing a Diverse and Inclusive Community
Valuing a Diverse and Inclusive Community
Every person in a classroom community, from the teachers to the students, has something to contribute to the learning environment. Even though the learning paths for each student may differ, we value learning in community. We also believe through diversity we learn empathy, creating opportunities to understand various perspectives and voices from those who grow up differently than us. At MOSAICS, students will be provided opportunities to learn and grow together in their classrooms as students are provided time to share their learning and life with others from different communities.
Together We are Stronger
Together We are Stronger
Collaboration multiplies contributions to learning. Shared goals and mutual support lead to greater success than individually focused work. At MOSAICS, students learn how to collaborate with others to achieve common goals. All students have strengths to share in the learning process, which allows the sum of the parts to be greater than the whole.
Thinking Critically & Analytically
Thinking Critically & Analytically
Learners must be curious about the changing world around them. They will encounter issues that they must be able to tackle with creativity and innovation. As they work to solve problems, they will encounter new information and changing variables that they must respond to with agility and ease.
Creative Problem Solvers

Learners must be forward-thinking to meet the ever-changing needs of society in the future. They must anticipate the needs of their communities and develop innovative solutions to solve the world’s pressing problems. At MOSAICS, students will take initiative and pursue their interests with a passionate sense of urgency.
