Students reflect upon their experiences in a Service Learning Journal, which is handed in weekly to their assigned advisor for comment and discussion. Walkabouts A Chrysalis, high value is placed on learning outside the walls of the school. Through Walkabout participation, students gain in-depth understanding and apply textbook knowledge in real world situations. An example of a Walkabout would be a one-week study of Wisconsin history while hiking and analyzing geological evidence along the Ice Age trail. Or, studying environmental chemistry at a local lake or pond.
Walkabouts typically follow the regular school day.
Character Education Chrysalis Family Charter School is committed to modeling positive behavior and developing student character based upon the historical and cultural ethics of our country. It is our intent to impress upon the students the principles of morality, truth, justice, temperance, humanity, and patriotism. Our students are propelled to seek true comprehension of the rights, duty, and dignity of American citizenship. Classes will meet four days a week for full-time students with Wednesdays and part of Fridays reserved for physical education activities in the community, independent projects, and community service projects. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved at all levels, in planning and decision-making as well as in the classroom.
