A Student-Led Space for Conversation and Connection
SOFA (Students On Financial Aid) is a student-led affinity group on campus for individuals on financial aid to get together to connect in community and talk about their experiences. Open to students receiving aid of any kind (regardless of amount), the group was founded to foster a sense of community amongst those on aid, and offer a confidential space for sharing thoughts and experiences.
CSW — a gender-inclusive day and boarding school for grades 9-12 and PG — 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.
