12th Grade English Language Arts Reading
Soar Capstone Project
Soar is the final launchpad of the Mosaic journey, where scholars synthesize years of literary foundation, discovery, and ascension into a legacy-defining inquiry. This year transitions the student from learner to independent scholar, culminating in the Mosaic Soar Capstone Defense—a formal public presentation where scholars defend their thesis and demonstrate they are ready to fly into the world as justice-minded leaders driven by this inquiry: “How do we maintain our humanity in the midst of challenging or dehumanizing circumstances?”
