Paragon Curriculum
Mosaica Education's competitive advantage is the use of the Paragon curriculum in its classrooms. Paragon combines the rigor of a classical education with hands-on learning modules, a quarterly theatrical performance and classes taught chronologically. Mosaica Education is able to tailor educational programs to each students’ needs due to Paragon’s ability to be engaging, practical and discovery-based. With a holistic approach, Paragon allows each student to look at the full scope of the lesson and not feel the pressures of intensive memorization. In doing so, students are able to get closer to the lesson’s true meaning, whether in math, science, history or fine arts.
