"It all starts with education."
This conviction drives us, inspires us and fills us with hope. At La Chrysalide, we are aware that school is the first representation of life in society for the child. The school is a micro-society where the child builds himself.
So why turn to an alternative education system?
Because the world is evolving, more and more rapidly, and this leads us to wonder about the school of tomorrow. It is true that the traditional educational system offers a quality education to our children. The school teaches them to read, to count, to live in community and to find their place while respecting that of their friends. It brings them theoretical teachings which are essential. But the children of the new generation are growing up in a world that has nothing to do with that of previous generations. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt and propose new learning methods. It is also necessary to add an extra dimension to traditional education, focusing more on the personal development of the child, teaching them to love, to laugh, to learn and to grow beyond their current limits and convincing them of their value and motivating them to develop their potential.
To blossom in school is essential and is even the way learn to reason!
La Chrysalide is a school where children learn how to think, not what to think.

At La Chrysalide, the student is the primary actor in his or her learning. The educational program takes into account the emotional, intellectual, physical and social development of the child as a whole by addressing the uniqueness of each child in a stimulating and emotionally secure environment.

The child builds his individual identity. It is a time of great creation and great change: language, order, taste, morals, among others, are integrated at this time. Acquisitions are made unconsciously and effortlessly, thanks to the child's "absorbing mind". This capacity allows the child to take in everything the environment has to offer (both positive and negative) in order to structure and build himself. This is why at La Chrysalide, the prepared environment is our greatest asset.
The child between the ages of 6 and 12 goes through a period of quiet consolidation. Interest in the outside world develops. They need more responsibility and freedom. This is a great stage of intellectual development during which the child seeks to understand what is around him. The "reasoning mind" comes into play. The child is developing socially and is also consolidating his or her moral conscience. They need to work in groups.
This is why at La Chrysalide, we prioritize interactions with others to promote learning situations.

It is a common misconception that children are allowed to do "whatever they want". However, in a Montessori classroom, educators do not allow children to do anything and everything. There is a balance between structure and freedom in a Montessori environment. First of all, the child will learn the framework and the rules that maintain the atmosphere that is essential to a Montessori education. Then the idea of freedom, which leads to responsibility, is gradually introduced to the children. In the Montessori classroom, guided freedom is a privilege. To be entitled to it, the child must earn it; by respecting the rules of the classroom. In a Montessori classroom, the activities must be introduced by the educator the first time. The teacher must guide the child towards an activity that meets his/her academic needs, keeping in mind his/her interests so that the chosen activity remains captivating for the learner, while being part of an educational continuum. The children are autonomous AND guided : these two notions complement each other and are intimately linked.
The comparison is possible but not at any specific time. Indeed, on the one hand the chronological order of acquisition and especially the way of approaching knowledge are different from those of the traditional system, but above all each child within the school has a different learning rhythm. This inevitably results in differences in knowledge, even if only between two students of the same age who have spent the same period in the same Montessori class. Montessori education does not leave anything to chance, and the learning of certain complex notions can take several months. Parents are often surprised to see that their child will be able to integrate concepts that seem very complex thanks to material that was presented to him or her very early on. Finally, the traditional school program is yearly, whereas Montessori learning is done in cycles.
The Montessori pedagogy develops the child's autonomy, self-confidence and self-discipline. These values are imprinted on him for life. The child can adapt more quickly to new situations such as a move, a change of linguistic environment, a change of school and therefore a change of pedagogy. They can adapt positively to new situations because they have developed concentration and self-discipline, have experienced the pleasure and desire to learn, and are well adapted socially. These abilities support the lifelong quest for knowledge and allow the child to integrate easily into any new system. It is certain that a child raised with this self-respect will find differences in other school systems that are marked by more rigidity. If the parents let us know in advance that the child is going to leave us, it allows us to prepare him/her for this future change.
