The Independent Learner Podcast by Mosaic

The Independent Learner Podcast by Mosaic is a space for honest conversations about how learning actually happens when families step outside conventional school. Hosted by Mosaic’s Executive Director, the show explores self-directed learning through lived experience, not theory. Each episode features parents, educators, and young people reflecting on curiosity, agency, and what changes when learning is shaped around real lives rather than systems. No scripts. No prescriptions. Just thoughtful conversations about building learning paths that fit.
