Mariposa School for Children With Autism

The Mariposa School strives to be a regional leader in providing education and therapeutic services to children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Our goal is to build positive relationships among families, staff, and the greater community to help each child achieve his/her potential.

The Mariposa School is a non-profit organization created specifically to offer children with autism and other unique learning abilities year round intensive instruction, using innovative teaching techniques. Based in central North Carolina, the school has attracted international attention for its progressive teaching curriculum and various programming opportunities. Families from across the country and world have relocated so their children can attend the school – a testament to the effectiveness of its teaching methodology and commitments to helping these learners succeed. Each program is tailored to fit individual needs so that the learner may realize their maximum potential.

We utilize the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to provide intensive instruction using evidenced-based methodology in a supportive environment designed to improve targeted skills and quality of life for our learners and their families.
