Mosaica Education, Inc. is an education management organization that operates preschool, elementary, middle and high school programs in the United States, United Kingdom and India in addition to other countries through Mosaica Online. Mosaica Education was founded in 1997. It acquired Advantage Schools, Inc., in 2001. Mosaica Education's primary focus is developing charter school programs in the United States that use its proprietary Paragon curriculum. Mosaica Education is co-headquartered in New York City and Atlanta, Georgia. The organization employs more than 1,800 people, primarily at the school-site level, and operates 104 programs for 25,000 students worldwide as of November 2013.
Michael J. Connelly is Mosaica's chief executive officer.
Mosaica was co-founded in 1997 by Dr. Dawn Eidelman and Gene Eidelman. The Eidelmans had previously founded Prodigy Child Development Centers and Prodigy Consulting, an organization that operated child development and care centers in the Atlanta, Georgia area and for corporations across the United States including General Motors, IBM and Xerox. Dr. Dawn Eidelman also formerly served as a professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. In September 1997, Mosaica opened its first charter school. Lepercq Capital Management purchased a stake of the company in 1998. Along with the investment, Michael Connelly, a former president of Lepercq, became Mosaica's chief executive officer. The company received further funding from Murphy and Partners in 1999.
In 2001, Mosaica acquired Advantage Schools, a Boston, Massachusetts-based education management organization. The Qatari government contracted Mosaica to convert schools in Qatar to an American-style educational curriculum in 2003. The contract was renewed in 2006. By 2005, Mosaica was the fastest growing urban business in the country, according to Inc. Magazine. The company operated 51 charter schools at the time.
In 2004 and 2007, Mosaica was recognized as one of the Outstanding Charters Schools in America. Mosaica was one of two education organizations to appear on the 2004 "Inc 5000" list.
In 2006, Mosaica Education was selected by the government of Abu Dhabi as one of four private education firms to consult on 30 government schools in the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC). The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program was considered successful in 2010 when ADEC reported that "there has been a considerable rise in student and teacher attendance and grades specifically in English, Math, and Arabic language skills."
