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.

42 years of Chrysalis magic!
On Thursday night, the sun peeked through and over 175 families, students from K-12th grades, and staff, came together to celebrate what makes our school truly special. It’s not just about the amazing projects and learning our students do—though we love that too—but about building connection, sharing laughter, and growing together as a unique and wonderful community.
And because no great celebration is complete without great food, we brought in a Seattle legend—Dick’s Burgers! Nothing says we appreciate you like a cheeseburger and milkshake, right?
To every family who showed up, every student who makes this place shine, and every staff member who pours their heart into this work—thank you. Chrysalis isn’t just a school; it’s a place where people can be exactly who they are and know that they belong. Here’s to 42 years of that—and many more to come! 💛 #Chrysalis42 #MoreThanASchool

Makes me feel old and it’s only been 10 years since i graduated high school.

This makes me feel sooo old 😂 Congrats to everyone that makes this school amazing 👏
Adventurers, rogues, and mystics alike gathered for The Alchemy Faire, a night of magic, mischief, and merriment at Chrysalis High School last Thursday! Brave souls ventured into the Artisan Workshop, crafting guilded dragon eggs, the Town Tavern bustled with feasting and fun, while the Wizard's Laboratory bubbled with potions of slime and growing crystals. Outside, students roasted s'mores over the flickering flames of the great fire.
Whether forging relics, concocting wonders, or feasting like kings, every guest left with a touch of magic in their hearts. Until our next grand quest—may your rolls be high and your adventures legendary! #alchemyfaire #MagicAndMayhem

At Chrysalis, we believe every student should have the opportunity to chase their dreams, cultivate their talents, and shine—both in and out of the classroom.
Huge congratulations to our very own Rose, a CHS 6th grader, on an incredible new equestrian partnership with the legendary mare, Snippity Snap—or "Boo" as she’s affectionately known. Boo has made history in the show world, and now, she’s ready to take on new victories with Rose.
Rose’s passion and dedication make her the perfect match for this champion, and we can’t wait to cheer them both on in the 2025 show season! Join us in celebrating this amazing opportunity—go, Rose and Boo! 🎉🏆 #BalancedEducation #SnippitySnap #dreamteam

Jeff says “congratuations”
So proud of you Rose!!👏🏽👏🏽
That is a very nice horse. Zoe is envious.
After a few snowy days of winter, the sun peeks through, reminding us that brighter days are ahead. Just like that first warm breeze hints at spring, it’s time to start thinking about the next season of learning!
If you, or if you know a family, who is exploring school options, we invite you to visit one or both of our campuses and experience firsthand how we inspire transformative learning. In the coming months, prospective families will have opportunities to take a tour, hear about our unique programs, and see how we nurture curiosity, community, and a love of learning in our students!
Ready to take a closer look? Head to our website to RSVP and schedule your visit—we can’t wait to welcome you!

Huge applause for Tarissa, our CHS 7th grader, who beautifully performed multiple roles in the Washington School of Dance's "The Nutcracker." Teachers attended to cheer her on as she twirled, dazzled and danced! What a fantastic performance—hard work, talent, and passion all on full display. Bravo, Tarissa! #Nutcracker2024 #WashingtonSchoolOfDance #WellDeservedApplause

Field trips + photography = unforgettable adventures!
Our students ventured to McCoy Creek Falls for the Friday photography class, blending the art of the lens with the beauty of the outdoors. Not only did they capture stunning shots (hello, waterfalls!), but they also deepened their connection with nature and each other.
Shoutout to our budding photographers—you crushed it! 🌿📷 Let’s see those waterfall masterpieces!

A break in the clouds revealed some glorious sunshine today so the Washington State History jumped at the opportunity to get out and about! Their class began the afternoon with a quick timeline review of past fieldtrips then were off to explore some new areas of the PNW. They viewed Native artwork at the UW Bothell library before heading to Wilmot Gateway Park for some fun and thoughtful reflection!

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our sweet support dog, Yannah, passed away yesterday morning. We know that for many of you, Yannah held a special place and healing at Chrysalis and was an integral member of our community.
Yannah came to Chrysalis as a puppy in 2011 and was raised by our Chrysalis Puppy Raisers to become a guide dog for the blind. In a career path change, she remained at Chrysalis as our very own support dog. She served as our front desk greeter, our activity room mascot, and official cuddle bug. She brought great joy and comfort to our students and staff every day, knowing exactly who needed her and when.
Yannah was truly a special pup.

I will have to find one of the pictures of her, she got dressed up for a scene in a drama skit, such a sweet dog.
