Congratulations again on your acceptance to CSW! Watch the video below for a personal message from Head of School Lise Charlier.
Congratulations! We are so excited to welcome you and your family to the CSW community.
As you have no doubt figured out by now, CSW is not your typical high school. Our progressive learning model — known as the Mod System — is unlike any other. Here, you have the freedom and flexibility to actively participate in your own education, pursuing the passions you know while boldly exploring new subjects.
If you are looking to make a difference in yourself, your community, or the world at large, this is the place to do it. As a school we are committed to providing an education that is active, challenging, justice-minded, and completely student-centered, giving you the tools you need to thrive in high school and beyond. Our new PACE program transcends the traditional learning experience by teaching you important life skills like mindfulness, digital literacy, self-advocacy, and empathy.
So get excited. Because the next four years are going to change your life in the very best of ways.
On behalf of all of us, welcome to CSW!
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Lise Charlier
