Welcome to the Chrysalis High blog, where we share the thinking behind how we teach and the small moments that make up a school year. Some posts come from our teachers, on how children actually learn to read, or settle into a new grade, or find their feet in a subject that once scared them. Others are practical, written with parents in mind: choosing a board, easing exam stress, making screen time work rather than worry. And some are simply glimpses of life on campus. There is no fixed schedule and no filler. We post when we have something worth saying. Have a look through what is below.

Has there ever been a time when you felt you’re good enough for this world and all people ever do is try to change you into someone they want you to be? I’m sure we’ve all been there at one point of our life (teenage, especially) and most of us reacted with a fiery “How […]
“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you.

The last two years have been anything but a joyride. I think I can safely vouch for the entire world on this one.
