family-style living<\/a>, we offer a warm and supportive environment that fosters identity development, self-esteem and a sense of belonging. The structure of our program and daily life at Chrysalis helps our students excel academically and develop integrity and a strong work ethic while maintaining a healthy balance of work and play. It all makes for a dynamic we’ve found to be extremely effective.<\/p>\n\n\t\tExpect big things when you keep it small.\n\t<\/h2>\n\t
Chrysalis is smaller and more intimate than most other therapeutic boarding schools, and this is intentional. Our capacity is limited to 40 students and the low student-to-staff ratio and small, family environment ensures that each student receives the individual attention she deserves. This small size means that we eat all our meals at a table together and spend evenings chatting on the living room couches or studying at the dining room table, rather than eating in a cold cafeteria and living in an impersonal dorm. Our intention is to parallel life at home, which gives your daughter an opportunity to properly practice and develop the relationship skills pivotal to her success.<\/p>\n\t
Chrysalis students often wrestle with self-esteem, identity, sense of belonging and forming meaningful relationships.

However, we strive to teach our girls how to recognize their old habits, how to employ new skills and how to practice making these changes a part of their everyday routine. Without a school, social groups and home-like setting, students could not practice their new skills in a practical environment to ensure success after they graduate our program.

Our Program No two girls are the same. The same can be said for boarding school programs. The decision to send your daughter away to a therapeutic boarding school is one of the most difficult ones you’ll make as a parent.
