MOSAIC Application Process

Thank you for your interest in Mosaic Home Education Partnership.  Mosaic K-8 is a public program of choice within the Bainbridge Island School District.  Mosaic K-8 offers students a personalized, non-traditional learning environment where students and parents have a voice in determining what and how they learn. The majority of a student’s instruction is home-based with their parent as the primary educator. Mosaic K-8 students also attend on-campus enrichment classes one to two days a week taught by certificated staff.  Students and parents meet with an academic advisor each month to review academic progress and to determine appropriate curriculum choices.

  • Applicants that are non-residents may apply but acceptance is subject to consideration such as educational history and space availability. 

  • Choice schools are open to all students.  As a public school within Bainbridge Island School District, Mosaic Home Education Partnership does not discriminate against students based on race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation including gender expression or identity, the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability, or the use of a trained guide dog or service animal by a student with a disability.  

    Choice schools will ask parents/students if a student has an IEP. The IEP describes the services that are needed to support the student.  Not all services are available at all schools within the Bainbridge Island School District. The IEP team, which includes the parents, will make any location or change of service decisions.  All decisions are made in accordance with federal and state laws, and district procedures.
