Chrysalis was founded in 1983. This particular South Wooodinville Campus offers classes from kindergarten through eighth grade. The school offers small, group classes of eight to 10 students with an emphasis on independent learning, so that students can become self-directed and learn even when away from school. Chrysalis also offers individualized courses and assignments developed according to the student's needs, interests, and abilities. Grades 9-12 are located at the North Woodinville Campus.
The school is certified by the NCAA, accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, and approved by the Washington State Board of Education.
