CSAW AMBASSDOR INITIATIVE &
FAQ SERIES

One of the core beliefs of CSAW is that information is best given from those that have experienced something first hand. 

​

The CSAW Ambassadors have volunteered to represent 17 international schools and counting. They are current students who can answer your real questions about circus school.

​

This includes a brand new FAQ series where ambassadors provide answers to your top 40 circus school questions!
