Admissions

Transfer Students

Whatever reasons may be driving your consideration of a new high school, CSW warmly welcomes applications from qualified transfer students. Each year, we intentionally integrate a select group of transfers into our community, enriching the experience for all.

When You’re Ready for More, We’re Ready for You.

At CSW, we understand that some students decide to explore new schools after ninth grade. Perhaps you seek a more challenging program or to take more classes in your areas of interest. Maybe you yearn to be among inspiring peers and passionate teachers who really care about getting to know you as a person. Or you simply know that you want more from your high school experience.

  • Chase, Newton, MA

    The transition to CSW as a new tenth grader was very smooth, thanks to a really helpful orientation, friendly students, and teachers who are clearly excited to be here.

  • Julian, Wellesley, MA

    As an enthusiastic student who enjoys learning for the sake of learning, I came to CSW for its culture of intellectual curiosity and individualism.

  • Katie, Orenburg, Russia

    I transferred to CSW because I wanted to finish my high school years at a high school in the States, and I was drawn to CSW specifically because of the amazing boarding program and the unique Mod System

Joining Together

Transfer Cohorts at CSW

At CSW, we’ve designed a highly intentional onboarding experience to help new students build community and confidence from day one. Each year, we welcome new 10th and 11th graders. Through tailored orientation, small-group meetings, and guidance from advisors and peer mentors, new students quickly gain a strong foundation for academic success while feeling seen and supported.

Grade 10: A Purposeful Point of Entry

CSW considers grade 10 an official and well-supported entry point. Recognizing that many strong preparatory programs end after grade 9, we intentionally welcome transfer students as a cohort each year. Through shared coursework, including a dedicated history section, and additional guidance from faculty and advisors, we ensure a seamless transition into our academic culture and community.
