What do the school and CBA each provide?
The school provides formal classes and assessment and determines grade placement and course eligibility. CBA connects housing and student support to help students settle into school life and sustain their learning. Families should consider both the school curriculum and CBA’s support arrangements.
Explore Fenwick and the six-school network
Fenwick High School is CBA’s featured partner. The other partners are Daystar Academy, Timothy Christian Schools, Montini Catholic High School, Walther Christian Academy, and British International School of Chicago – South Loop. A featured school is not automatically the best choice for every student. Grade level, subject interests, and the learning environment provide useful starting points for comparison.
How to use the school comparison
Start with the grade range and the curriculum the student needs. Then compare advanced learning opportunities, activities, and school size. A consultation can help narrow down the classes and activities relevant to the student. Rankings or a single statistic do not describe the whole experience; fit with the student’s goals also matters.
Plan the school and housing together
CBA’s supervised boarding in downtown Chicago is CBA’s main residential program. Managed homestay options are also available for Timothy, Montini, and Walther. Reading school profiles alongside housing information helps families compare education and daily support within one plan.

Does choosing a school guarantee admission and courses?
