Del Rio Student Center exists to personalize each individual student’s educational experience to create passionate, life-long learners who collectively form a perfect mosaic. Del Rio Student Center provides TK-8th-grade students with an engaging, blended learning environment, combining the best of classroom instruction with the best that homeschooling offers. By personalizing our approach through the collaborative nature of our program, we find that success is in unlocking each student’s potential, creating life-long learners who are committed and involved members of their community. Two program options are available:
Mosaic Academy TK-8: Students attend engaging grade-level classes Monday – Friday. Monday is an early release day dismissing at 1:00 pm. On Mondays, students receive a focused day of specialized reading and math instruction taught by Mosaic teachers and enrichment classes along with small group instruction led by our ACE team.
Homeschool Learning Center K-8: Enrichment workshops are offered for our homeschool program students on Tuesday and Thursday. These fun classes range from core math to arts, drama, and project work.

For the 4th year in a row, Del Rio Student Center 7th grade student Zuri Honore, 12, of Lake Elsinore raised funds and prepared meals to feed a Christmas meal to dozens of people currently experiencing homelessness. He started work with the homeless after visiting Los Angeles and seeing large numbers of homeless on the street. He recalled, “It was sad to see. I think it’s important that we treat them as well as anyone else.”
