The Gift of Travel

Alorie Parkhill Learning and Travel Fund for Teachers

In 2021-22, CSW was honored to award three members of faculty with grants from the Alorie Parkhill Learning and Travel Fund for Teachers: History Department Chair Anjali Bhatia, Dance teacher Jeryl Pilapil, and Visual Arts Teacher Anne Rearick. The Fund, established by Rebecca Parkhill ‘85, P’17 and Robert Willett P’17, was created in honor of longtime teacher and administrator Alorie Parkhill P’85, ‘87, GP’17. Grants from the fund may be used for travel, study, and any form of learning and exposure that can then be shared with students and colleagues at CSW.

CSW—a gender-inclusive day and boarding school for grades 9-12—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.
