Wow, what a gift! Today in Roll for Initiative, Chrysalis students had the honor of learning from legendary game designer Jonathan Tweet—creator of Ars Magica, lead designer of D&D 3rd Edition, and co-designer of 13th Age.
He shared powerful insights on the creative process, the discipline of finishing what you start, and the magic of storytelling in games. His words, “D&D is about YOUR heroes, YOUR stories..." were so true and inspiring! Huge thanks to Jonathan for encouraging our students to build worlds, tell bold tales, and trust their own creative voices.

Cool!!!
Senior (well, graduating early) Shout Out! Eli Antony, now a stellar sophomore, has been accepted into the University of Washington’s early entry program this fall through the prestigious Robinson Center UW Academy. He’s tuning up for a major in music (with a spotlight on piano), and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Eli began his journey at Chrysalis way back in first grade, and now he’s heading into his next great adventure—with plenty of rhythm and heart. Bravo, Eli!

Friday night was pure gothic magic at our Chateau Nocturne prom! Students danced the night away, played games, and indulged in delicious treats—all against the enchanting backdrop of Chateau Lill featuring Lill Family Wines in Woodinville. Thank you to everyone who made the evening unforgettable. Here are a few glimpses from our fabulous event… #gothicprom #chateaulill #PromNightMagic

Our Chrysalis high school PROM is tomorrow! And no, it’s not your average glitter-and-garland affair.
Students will be glamming it up for a gothic-inspired evening to connect, feast, and celebrate the end of the year in style. Think shadowy vibes, candlelit corners, velvet mood, and yes… there will be games. And music. And food that doesn’t feel like a cafeteria upgrade.
Just another amazing event that's anything but ordinary, this is prom—Chrysalis style.

This sounds amazing! I remember when my kiddo was at chrysalis and they had the Stranger things themed dance (Halloween time). the kids all had a great time! So glad to see chrysalis continuing fun prom and dance themes.
This is so cool! All my seniors are excited to be going!!!
I’m curious how the theme is thought of. I could see some people loving this and others being disappointed by it if they are more main stream.
The Right Environment Changes Everything.
At Chrysalis, we’re student centered, developmentally minded, and relationship based — because kids learn best when they feel seen, supported, and inspired. 🦋
If your 7th–12th grader is ready for something different, head to our website and sign up for a May 6th at 1PM tour!

We’re back from spring break and ready to welcome new faces to our community! If you know a student who is looking for a school where they can truly be themselves… where being seen, supported, and celebrated isn’t the exception but the expectation—send them our way! Campus tours are coming up, and we’d love to meet families who need the Chrysalis magic-- we’re here for it.

Chrysalis School has helped our kiddo become really engaged in school. She loves learning and is excited to go to school now!
🌸 Spring Break is Here! 🌸
Just a reminder—school will be closed all next week for Spring Break! Rest, recharge, and soak up some sunshine or relish in some fabulous, family time.

Hope everyone has an amazing Spring Break!
Rain or Shine, We Ride!
On Friday, a group of 20 CHS students and staff fearlessly ventured to Stevens Pass for a ski adventure! A little rain couldn’t dampen their spirits on the slopes! Students embraced the fun, turning drizzle into laughter and carving their way through an unforgettable day. From first-time skiers to seasoned pros, everyone found their own way to enjoy the mountain—proving that the best memories aren’t just made in perfect conditions!
Here’s to resilience, fun, and a school community that knows how to make every trip an epic one! #ChrysalisSkiTrip #RainOrShine #MakingMemories2025

Everyone had such a great time! Lifelong memories were made and I can't wait for the next one!
It was such a great trip. It was awesome to see the kids having fun!
For lunch today, our incredible parent volunteers treated our teachers and staff to a Mexican fiesta—complete with delicious flavors, warm tortillas, and a whole lot of love. It may seem like just a meal, but it’s so much more. In a job that asks us to pour so much into our students, moments like these refill our cups. This generosity doesn’t just feed our bodies—it feeds our spirits.
We are grateful for the kindness, care, and community that make Chrysalis such a special place. Thank you to our amazing parents for reminding us that we are all in this together! #Gratefulteacher #ChrysalisCommunity #fiesta

What happens when you mix Shakespearean mischief with Robin Hood’s somewhat true escapades? A night of theatrical brilliance, that’s what!
Last night our middle school Drama class took the stage with bold, hilarious, and wonderfully spirited selections from Shakespeare—because what’s middle school without a little poetic chaos? Meanwhile, our high school Drama students brought The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood to life with wit, charm, and just the right amount of absurdity.
Bravo to our incredible performers for a preview night of laughter, adventure, and a few very dramatic monologues. You were playful, delightful, and frankly, the Bard himself would be proud.
Students will be performing again this evening for a final show! Contact the CHS front desk if you are interested in more information.
