The Chrysalis School is an independent school for autistic children in Hertfordshire, England. The school recently moved to Hitchin. It uses the model of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to facilitate teaching its pupils.[1]

The school's aim is to start working with young children who have just been diagnosed with autism, or those who have been following a home-based ABA programme. It was set up by two families who have children with autism.

With the backing of the Local Education Authority, plus fundraising and grants, the school provides a place for children between five and sixteen years of age. The school is a registered charity.[2]

The school was featured in 'You' magazine, in an article about schools started by parents.[3]

Fundraising events

The school regularly organises a variety of public events to raise funds.[4] These have included sports events; balls; musicals, such as a performance of the 'Twelfth Night' in 2008;[5] and murder mystery nights.
