Chrysalis School is a private academic track Montessori school with an ambitious curriculum and a family-centered approach. We serve students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. In addition to typically developing children, we also serve children with special educational needs. Today "special education" is a much broader and more inclusive term than it was historically. Special needs include autism spectrum, chromosomal disorders, specific learning disabilities, processing difficulties, and attention disorders.
In response to CoVid19 we have expanded our curriculum to include web-based learning, direct instruction with teachers on our HIPAA secure live video platform, web-based behavioral support, and a rich array of web-based social activities. We are also pleased to say that our Music and Art programs are alive and well online. Visitors are welcome to view our recent Student Art & Film Festival.
We also offer Applied Behavior Analysis, Cognitive Behavior therapy, and educational therapies, including Phono-Graphix®, developed by Geoffrey McGuinness along with our director Dr. Carmen McGuinness.

Fully Integrated Virtual School
In March 2020, we built a Canvas virtual platform offering fourteen classes for K-12th grade, to serve the needs of our students during the CoVid19 pandemic. Our online campus will remain open through the coming 2020-2021 school year, and until ever single student feels safe to return to school.

No two children are alike. That's why we don't place children in specific grades or classrooms. Our youngest students spend two to three years in our early grades program with Maria Gomez. By second grade, students enter a clinical education platform, where instruction is delivered by a team of teachers and therapists, each with 20+ years
No two children are alike. That's why we don't place children in specific grades or classrooms. Our youngest students spend two to three years in our early grades program with Maria Gomez. By second grade, students enter a clinical education platform, where instruction is delivered by a team of teachers and therapists, each with 20+ years of experience. Clinical instruction is provided by Geoffrey McGuinness and Sheryl Schmucker through both direct instruction and monitored practice. Our study hall and break room are monitored by Dr. Carmen McGuinness.

Monitored Practice
Once new lessons are provided, students are encouraged to use their developing skills and information under observation of their teachers so that errors can be corrected rather than practiced.
Independent Practice
Our study hall, monitored by Carmen McGuinness, EdD, BCBAd, is an area for independent practice of skills.
Reinforcement
Students receive regular breaks between periods of work, so that they learn the benefits of a job well done.
Music
Students also receive music and performance classes. We have two to three live and film performances each school year. And we end the year with a film festival of shorts, produced by our students.
Studio Art
Our Art teacher, Marla E instructs ever student each Friday. Our May art show attracts professional artists who show alongside our students.
