TIMOTHY · MONTINI · WALTHER
Managed homestay
CBA places students only with host families within one hour of our headquarters, so our team can visit in person when support is needed. For students attending Timothy, Montini or Walther in the Chicago area, we oversee daily living, academics, extracurricular activities and college preparation—and follow through with families and schools.
