What is Progressive Education?
Progressive education is a pedagogical approach that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for lifelong learning by emphasizing student agency, real-world connections, and interdisciplinary exploration.
So that students build the resilience, confidence, and critical thinking skills they need to navigate complexity and lead with purpose in an ever-changing world.
So that students develop a strong sense of justice and responsibility, learning how to challenge biases, address social inequities, and drive meaningful change.
So that each learner can tap into their intrinsic motivations, shape their educational journey, and discover not only what they want to do, but who they want to be.
CSW—a gender-inclusive day and boarding school for grades 9-12—is a national leader in progressive education. We live out our values of inquiry-based learning, student agency, and embracing diverse perspectives in every aspect of our student experience. Young people come to CSW to learn how to learn and then put what they learn into action—essential skills they carry into their futures as doers, makers, innovators, leaders, and exceptional humans who do meaningful work in the world.
