Dr.Sawaldas Jethani
Founder Chairman
Chrysalis High is going well beyond these standards to keenly prepare every child for future with specific attention.It is a unique inter national school, creating outstanding pathways between academic knowledge and experiential learning.
Aware that the best of the curriculum will fail, if it's not delivered properly, Chrysalis has implemented a quality audit scheme that monitors curriculum delivery, teacher's instructive approach and determines if there is any kind of handholding required. This ensures that its curriculum and the quality of the school as far as curriculum delivery is concerned, is exceptional. The brainchild of Dr. Sawaldas Jethani (Founder Chairman), Chrysalis was established in 2011 to unfold the casket of knowledge through its flagship program PUPA (Prior under standing of Pupil Attributes).It concocts a protective, performative, and conducive environment for budding scholars where they feel accepted, informed,and are thoroughly understood by educators incharge. These educators undertake complete ownership of child's academic and holistic development, even before he/she enters the schooling paradigm. ISP (Individual Support Program),however is Chrysalis' personalized initiative to transverse academic gaps with remedial, reinforced classes, right from the foundational years of education.
Where Every Child is a Champion
Shunning the concept of conventional teacher student lectured relationship, the school takes a step ahead in identifying student's competencies, cognitive abilities, socio emotional well being and academic skill set by following a standardized questionnaire format and scripting diurnal anecdotes for the child's well defined future. Post defining the intensity of assistance required, each teacher within the Chrysalis ambit closely monitors the pupil's progress through assess ments and strategic assistance, and ensures that each documented observation is passed on to the next class teacher so that she/he gains prior understanding of each pupil's attributes. The continuous process in function not only in stills feeling of acceptance but also bridges academic gap through innate understanding, right guidance and strengthening their self belief.
As holistic development & experiential learning is core to Chrysalis' pedagogy, each student is exposed to the creative stockpile of knowledge through the medium of domain development system. The system focuses on step-by-step building of skill-set in foundational years itself."Be it physical & gross motor skills, fine motor skills, sensory abilities, cognitive language, emotional, aesthetic, social & personal characteristics or academics, we ensure that every child takes right steps in meeting specific milestones in all defined domains," explicates Indrani Singh, Chief Vision Officer, Chrysalis High.
A Personalized Vision in Effect
As the pre-primary kids are ready to get promoted to higher grades, Chrysalis' one and a half month of 'Transition' program is introduced. It creates awareness and helps little ones to accommodate to sudden changes such as extended hours and introduction to new subjects. This unabridged training for higher classes' preparations succor students to transit through academic culture and take the next step seamlessly. Besides walking these transition pathways, each student (from second grade onwards) is screened through baseline entrance tests. This is only to access and update child's academic status. Along the same concept of nine periods, teachers utilize the last period for creating individual support As the pre-primary kids are ready to get promoted to higher grades, Chrysalis' one and a half month of 'Transition'program is introduced.

Along the same concept of nine periods, teachers utilize the last period for creating individual support program ensuring that every student is at par at his/her grade level, thereby bringing in spotlight responsibility centric methodology. To top it all, Dr. Jethani introduced a one-of-its-kind session called Dream Period with high school students. In this period, he sets off a personal conversation with students to help them realize their key strengths and guide through their career choices. Commenting on this approach, Dr. Jethani opines, "It's not just taking care of the academics of the children but taking care of the children & what they would become in life". With 1:12 teacher student ratio in action, students are endowed with learning experiences through subject matter experts, who not only undertake teaching & learning ownership but also assure expertise edification.
Enriching Futuristic Scholars with Newest Methodologies
With the vision of edifying steadfast learners, Chrysalis'experiential learning methodology is enriched with technologies that mould theoretical knowledge into practical experiences. Quest Lab, for instance, is the school's conceptual pavilion for experimenting with scientific concepts that enables students to understand, experience, absorb, and collect data from such representations. While concepts like sound are interestingly visualized through models mostly used in research institutes (for higher studies), mathematical concepts and theorems are evidently practiced with manipulatives. Furthermore, its inhouse R&D team develops interesting, informative models for rendering holistic insights through real life experiences. While all these activities are executed within the campus, students are frequently taken for field explorations, workshops and camps for developing their social and life skills.
Elucidating on Chrysalis' STEaM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics)practice, Dr.Karthikeyan, Senior Manager Curriculum, Chrysalis High, avers, "STEaM is all about developing 21st Century skills in students. As the 4th Industrial Revolution will focus on Data Science, Automation, AR, IoT & AI technologies we have extended our curriculum to these areas for students' holistic and future oriented development". Right from availing scientific lab experience to introducing technological coding skills focused on gaming theory, animation, programming using R, Python, and others)) and learning engineering concepts through robotics kits to handcrafting origami & zentangle artifacts, the educational alma mater ascertains that each student explores experiential calibre in accordance with academic literacy. "In future, we will be having NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Meta Cognitive Reflective Learning as part of STEaM, which will be implemented from kindergarten onwards," proclaims Dr. Karthikeyan.
Unlocking the Mind to a World outside Books
Unfolding the brilliance of extracurricular
activities is Chrysalis'CHAMPS (Chrysalis High Amateurs to Masters in Performing Arts & Sports)program that encompasses indoor(Chess, Yoga, Martial Arts & Gymnastics), outdoor (Swimming, Basketball, Football & Cricket)and performing arts (Music, Dance & Theatre). Within this module, every student is mandated to choose one activity from each category. On the flip side, Dr.Jethani believes that Indian games are instrumental in building team spirit amongst children
lead to gross motor development through physical exertion and certainly are zero investment games as they require no paraphernalia. Hence, all Chrysalis branches have huge playground where students are introduced to Indian games like kho kho, hopscotch and kabbadi during games period/free play. Undoubtedly, initiation of such activities exhibits Chrysalis' dynamism and active approach to physical development while building tea Creating a home away from home, Chrysalis' ace infrastructure is equipped with CCTV surveillance, semi Olympic size swimming pool, basketball court, rich library, AV rooms and ICT enabled classrooms. Thanks to its emphasis on children's safety on road, every student travels the home school distance (and vice versa)only in GPS & CCTV equipped buses. "There is one simple rule in Chrysalis that at no point of time a child is left with a male teacher without female teacher's presence. Be it free play or classroom, a female teacher always accompanies all the children within the campus,"explains Dr.Jethani.
Instilling a Sense Responsibility Towards the Less Privileged
Chrysalis has also reserved time for communal participation, wherein students embrace their responsibilities towards society through Community Integration Program(CIP). While a wish tree stands tall in the school vicinity inviting donations for multiple social causes including an orphanage for mentally challenged orphan girls, gifting the `box of hope' is a sensational charity undertaking among students, alongside dream project where in children have raised over Rs.5lakh for thalassemia patients. Over the years, Chrysalis has exceptionally taken care of orphans via 'guardians of dreams'project.
Enrichment Activities
The term ‘enrichment' is defined in the dictionary as the process of enhancing the quality or value of something. Chrysalis High aspires to enrich the lives of the students entrusted under our care by integrating all aspects of learning under the same all encompassing programme. The students at Chrysalis are a bundle of energy and talent and Chrysalis considers it its responsibility to create the right environment for their holistic growth. The Enrichment Activities are meticulously planned and focus on imparting literary and artistic skills, updating them about current affairs, inculcating etiquettes and social skills, channelizing their scientific acumen, arming them with a host of basic everyday skills and a plethora of other activities."We aim to nurture, nourish and groom our students as well informed and well equipped students of the future who can live life to the fullest,"says Dr.Jethani.
Redefining Quality Education a Way Forward
Chrysalis,today,is spread across nine locations, including one in the US(Houston,Texas). Chrysalis High schools are affiliated to ICSE/CBSE/ IGCSE registered. Although catering to the learning needs of about 8,000 scholars & employing about 800 educators,the concern is never quantity, but quality. Etching quality education as the prime credo, Chrysalis pivots on the idea of optimum learning where every child is safe and the learning environment is conducive."Quality matters. We go slow & steady as every child's holistic development is extremely important to us,"concludes Dr.Jethani.
