This section presents financial information families need for their educational planning. It outlines the options we have developed to help families afford a Cambridge School of Weston education and lets you know how to pursue them.
With this section comes our firm commitment to work closely with every present and prospective family to make a CSW education possible.
The Value of a CSW Education
Cambridge School of Weston students engage in small classes, draw on more than 300 academic and arts courses taught by our first-rate faculty, and grow from the unique combination of challenge, support and responsibility the school provides through our Module Plan structure. Our graduates attend the finest colleges and universities, and go on to lead rich, productive lives.
Current Costs
Thanks to generous contributions from CSW alumni, friends, present and past parents, and income from our summer programs and endowment, we can set tuition for all families substantially below the actual cost of a CSW education.
