Freshman: I can't even begin to explain how much I loved Mariposa. I am a freshman in high school but Mariposa was amazing. I was actually excited to learn. You learn handwriting, handwork, religions and cultures, Spanish, writing, reading, math. In 5th grade we learned about ancient mythologies, and at the end of the school year, we were focusing on Ancient Greek mythology. We did a pentathlon where we learned how to throw a javelin and a discus, how to wrestle the Grecian way, and we did sprinting and the long jump. The curriculum focuses on teaching kids stuff when they are the most excited for it, and also on the kids social emotional development. Every kid in my class was brilliant and happy to go to school. Mariposa encourages parents to give their kids screens only on the weekends, so their growing brains won't be stunted by media. When I went to high school, I was more than prepared. I am so proud to have gone to Mariposa and to have the unique schooling and opportunities it gave me.
