Chrysalis Charter school: securing our permanent home
Chrysalis Charter school: securing our permanent home
As a public, science- and nature-focused charter school in Shasta County, we believe that education happens best through hands-on discovery, environmental stewardship, and outdoor learning. From kindergarten through 8th grade, our students don't just read about science in textbooks—they explore it in local ecosystems, build critical thinking skills in collaborative classrooms, and grow into compassionate, curious community leaders.
We offer a rigorous, whole-child education that balances academic excellence with deep care for each child's individual spark. We are committed to keeping this transformative, nature-based public education accessible to every family in our region.
Why This Capital Campaign Matters Now
For years, Chrysalis has leased its campus on Old 44 Drive. While our dedicated teachers and vibrant students have filled these classrooms with wonder, operating under a rental lease places strict limits on our physical footprint and diverts hundreds of thousands of public dollars every year into escalating rent instead of directly into classroom instruction.
We have reached a pivotal moment in our school’s history: the opportunity to purchase our $4.9 million campus and secure our physical footprint forever.
What Your Support Unlocks:
- Permanent Campus Sovereignty: Buying our campus eliminates the threat of rising rents and secures our permanent sanctuary for science and nature education.
- Expanded Learning & TK Program: Campus ownership allows us to launch a dedicated Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program, providing our youngest learners with an early start in nature-based education.
- Full Gym & Athletic Access: Securing the property gives our students permanent, unrestricted access to the Fitzpatrick Gymnasium, track, soccer, and baseball fields for robust physical education and community sports.
- Financial Sustainability: Transforming lease outlays into property ownership protects our general fund, ensuring more resources go straight to classroom teachers, outdoor trips, and student programs.
