The school year is in full swing here at Chrysalis, and
girls are busy with the rigors of school. Many seniors are excitedly preparing
for college, writing essays and filling out applications. Other students are
catching up academically, often realizing how much academic potential they
have.
Intellect and academics play a large role in a student’s
time at Chrysalis. Greater success in school often results in increased
self-esteem. Our small class size and fully certified world-class educators
help students succeed academically. The teachers come with diverse backgrounds,
ranging from outdoor education, the Peace Corps, teaching overseas, and Masters
degrees. They offer flexibility in scheduling, individualizing it for each student’s
needs. Our teachers also work closely with the clinicians, attending weekly
treatment team meetings. The small class sizes allow teachers to differentiate
in the classroom on an individual basis, yet still facilitate a traditional
teacher guided class.
This year we are offering English 9-12, World History, US
History, US Government, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus,
French 1 and 2, Spanish 1 and 2, Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry,
Independent Physics, Art, and Music.
Some of the music students recently performed at our anniversary
celebration, and guests enjoyed not only the students’ musical talent, but the
meaning behind the songs chosen.
When students were asked what is different about teachers at
Chrysalis compared to other schools, students replied with comments such as,
“They care about us. For reals.”, “The teachers are flexible.”, “The teachers
actually teach. It’s not just textbook based. It’s specific and they’re willing
to help. They make sure you don’t fail.”
