Visit CSW

Come see what progressive looks like.

Whether you're considering day or boarding, there's no better way to understand the power of a CSW education than to step onto our campus. You’ll see students collaborating across disciplines, hear laughter and discussion spilling from open classroom doors, and feel what it’s like to be part of a community that values curiosity, agency, and authenticity.

  • First Look Events (September to Mid-October)

    Offered 8:30-9:30 AM on the following dates: 9/15, 9/22, 9/26, 9/29, 10/1, 10/3, 10/6, 10/8, 10/10. (Registration required through the admissions office: 781-642-8650 or admissions@csw.org.)

    If you're considering an independent school and are eager to learn more about CSW, join us for a First Look event! These campus visits are intended for parents, guardians, and/or students early in the process of exploring school options, but who may not yet be in a place of wanting to commit to an interview visit. The session includes a campus tour, casual conversation, and an introduction to the admissions process at CSW.
  • Admissions Tours & Interviews (Mid-October - January 30)

    An admissions interview is required of all applicants, and is typically paired with a student-led campus tour. Both in-person and virtual appointments are available, and are conducted Monday-Friday while school is in session, from mid-October through January 30.  Interviews must be scheduled by January 15. For the convenience of our international applicants, we also welcome interviews completed through our partner organization, Vericant.

    If you've already toured campus during one of our events, you may elect to schedule an admissions interview without a campus tour.

    Before scheduling your campus visit, we ask that you set up a Ravenna account. If you already have a Ravenna account, please add CSW as one of the schools that you are exploring/applying to.

  • CSW's campus offers the best of both worlds.

    I love that CSW is close enough to Boston and Cambridge that we can easily access museums, theatre, shopping, professional sports and all the city has to offer, while also enjoying the peaceful solitude of Weston.

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.
