Creativity Lives Here


The arts are a vital and integral part of CSW's academic program. Our commitment to the arts stems from our belief that creativity and the willingness to take risks is central to a meaningful education. Coursework in the arts, both visual and performing, carries as much weight, rigor, and discipline as traditional academic subjects.

Courses in the art department offer tremendous depth and variety—from drawing to sculpture, songwriting to music theory, from ballet to contact improvisation, and lighting design to full-scale dramatic productions. We emphasize process over product, and students of all skill levels will find opportunities to participate and grow within our program.
