Academic Support
At CSW, we view academic support as a means for students to reach their highest potential in the classroom and beyond. All students here have access to resources, tools, and programming strategically designed to cater to a broad range of goals. Whether they seek to address content-specific questions, develop strategies for managing a particular learning challenge, or simply improve their learning and study habits, our faculty is here to help.
Skills Center
CSW’s Skills Center offers academic classes designed to address executive function skills such as planning and prioritizing, task initiation, sustained attention, working memory, and self advocacy. Students also learn to apply academic skills like active reading, expository writing, class participation, note taking, and oral presentation.
One-on-One Faculty Support
Hour-long daily lunches and regular faculty office hours every day from 2:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. make it easy for students to schedule one-on-one appointments or drop in with teachers to check in, ask questions, and review academic coursework.
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.
