The CSW Fund

The Engine Behind Progressive Education

The CSW Fund is the foundation of everything we do at CSW. It supports the day-to-day essentials that make our progressive model possible—from hands-on classroom experiences and expert faculty to vibrant arts, athletics, financial aid, and student life programming. Unlike tuition, which covers only a portion of the actual cost of a CSW education, gifts to the Annual Fund close the gap—ensuring we can continue to deliver a dynamic, inclusive, and future-focused education for every student, every day.
