Chrysalis High, Kadugodi, is a CBSE school in Whitefield, Bengaluru, spread across approximately four acres on Kadugodi Road. The school has a certificate for CBSE until Grade XII, where it offers Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams at the senior secondary level and forms part of a network of nine Chrysalis High campuses across Bangalore.
The school takes its name from the idea of growing and changing, based on the concept of Darwinism. According to Charles Darwin, a chrysalis is a proper place to become attached and undergo the final metamorphosis, which makes it a protected space to grow and develop, to unfold and explore, and a foothold to grip and fly. Aimed at helping children excel by understanding them, guiding them on the right path, and strengthening their self-belief, it describes its purpose bluntly as preparing children for the exam called life.
One of the biggest differentiating factors of Chrysalis is its named and systemised approach, in contrast to the generalisation that most schools do. Check the USP section for more details on these functions of the school.
The school maintains a lower student-teacher ratio by keeping two teachers in one classroom, with teacher quality managed through CHISEL, which is an internal program designed to identify and fill gaps in each teacher’s development.
The curriculum runs in four stages: the Early Years Program for ages 3 to 6, the Primary Years Program for Grades I to IV, the Middle Years Program for Grades V to VII, and the Graduating Years Program for Grades VIII to XII, which focuses on readiness for both academics and career.
For families in and around Kadugodi and Whitefield wanting a CBSE school with a swimming pool, a two-teacher classroom model, and unusually systematic pastoral programs, Chrysalis High Kadugodi is worth shortlisting.
