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, attention disorders, and good old fashioned quirky learners.


In response to  CoVid19 we have expanded our curriculum to include web-based learning, during required lockdowns, quarenteen, and sick-days. We are also pleased to say that our Music, Art, and our Theater and Film programs have remained alive and well thoughtout the challenges associated with CoVid. CoVid. Visitors are welcome to view our recent Student Art & Film Festival.

No two children are alike. That's why we don't place children in specific grades or classrooms. Our youngest students spend three to four years in our early grades program with Maria Gomez. After a strong foundation, students enter a clinical education platform, where instruction is delivered by teachers and therapists with 20+ years of experience.  Clinical instruction is provided by Geoffrey McGuinness through both direct instruction and monitored practice.
