The Cheek Center

The Cheek Building houses the dining hall, as well as the Business Office and language learning lab. You’ll also find the CSW school store here—a place to buy everything CSW, along with academic supplies, class books, and snacks. The Dining Hall is a place where the entire community gathers for lunch each school day, and where the boarding community has dinner every night. Cleanup is a community affair, with day students and their advisors working in teams to help with lunch duty throughout the year, and boarding students and dorm parents pitching in at dinner.

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.
