At Chrysalis, your child will be welcomed into a community which strives for the very best academic, mental, emotional, and physical environment. We pride ourselves on having a strong community spirit, making new students and their families feel welcomed and valued. Throughout its relatively short history, our school has blossomed into a place where children know they are accepted and appreciated, respected and loved. This is a direct result of the commitment and generosity of teachers, staff, families, and friends who continue to share their skills, expertise, and enthusiasm with the school community.
Chrysalis Montessori has around 150 students. Class sizes are kept small, with a ratio of one educator to 10 students (1:10) in the Children’s Houses and one educator to around twenty two students (1:22) in the primary classes. Our school is located only 10 minutes away from the Perth city centre, within easy reach of the Mitchell Freeway, public transport, and is situated near parklands and Herdsman Lake.
We have a carefully planned nature-based adventure playground which allows the children to exercise, explore, and play in ways that enhance their physical and spatial development. Our teachers have seen the benefits of the Montessori pedagogy. To many of our teachers, Montessori is more than just a type of education, but a way of life.
