Fourteen students from Mother Teresa Middle School celebrated four-years of hard work at their high-school graduation, last week in Regina. Mother Teresa Middle School (MTMS) provides an enhanced educational experience to Regina's vulnerable inner-city youth. In 2016, The Mosaic Company entered into a $1 million social impact bond with MTMS and the provincial government to improve school performance and graduation rates for children from economically disadvantaged homes.

“Our partnership with The Mosaic Company has allowed Mother Teresa Middle School to provide additional, comprehensive support to 82 former students while they attend high school," explains Curtis Kleisinger, Executive Director - MTMS. "Of the grade 12 grads this year, 20 have elected to continue their learning in post-secondary programs, significantly changing their life trajectory. We couldn’t be more grateful for Mosaic's support.”

Mosaic’s partnership with MTMS and the provincial government has helped over 80% of students complete their high-school education on-time. This is a notable improvement compared to 48% expected from students without the type of intervention that the school provides.
