Welcome to Chrysalis Academy, a new, intentionally small independent school in Studio City specifically designed to center and serve LGBTQ+, trans/nonbinary, and gender-expansive middle school students. Your child's unique journey, as well as your journey as their parenting adults, is important to us. Whatever twists and turns brought you to us, we are eager to meet you and your family, invite you into our classroom, and share our passion for safe and empowering education. 

We encourage you to explore our website and contact us with questions - as well as to come visit! You won't find another school like Chrysalis. We look forward to discovering how we can ease your path and partner with you to support your child's identity journey.
