Daily life with a host family
The host family cares for the student at home and regularly shares living updates through the CBA app. CBA assigns the host family and reviews the student’s living arrangements and support needs.
Managed homestay
Within one hour of CBA. Hands-on homestay care, close by.
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.
