About Mariposa
Mariposa School of Global Education is a TK–8 school run by Las Virgenes Unified, not a charter: the state's school directory lists it as an Alternative School of Choice that opened on August 27, 2007 (CDE). It had about 417 students in 2025–26 (Ed-Data), and the district lists it as a public Waldorf school (LVUSD).
Mariposa calls itself "A Public Waldorf School" and belongs to the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education, while saying it "is not considered a Waldorf School" and is not affiliated with the American Waldorf Schools of North America. Its teachers hold California teaching credentials and are trained in Waldorf methods for public schools (Mariposa).
Each day includes a two-hour Main Lesson block covering language arts, social studies and science, and teachers "loop," staying with a class across several grades. Math is taught daily, with the Bridges curriculum in grades 1–5 and College Preparatory Mathematics (CPM) in grades 6–8. The program also includes handwork, such as knitting, crocheting, sewing and cross stitch, and music, from recorder and singing to ukulele and middle school woodwinds (Mariposa).

Math placement for Mariposa students
Mariposa teaches its own middle grades, and it posts no math levels or placement rules for grades 6–8. Math is taught every day, with the Bridges curriculum in grades 1–5 and College Preparatory Mathematics (CPM) in grades 6–8 (Mariposa). Elsewhere in Las Virgenes, a math placement test at the end of 5th grade, with teacher referrals, sets the 6th-grade level: Math 6, Math 6 High or Math 6 Accelerated (LVUSD). Mariposa doesn't say whether its 5th graders take that test, so ask the school. The Las Virgenes placement guide explains the levels. Thousand Acorns Tutoring does not offer placement exam prep.
