CATHOLIC BOARDING SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION (CBSA): A SELECT GROUP OF EXCELLENT BOARDING SCHOOLS IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC TRADITION
The Catholic Boarding Schools Association (CBSA) is a small, select group of nationally acclaimed boarding schools adhering to the Catholic faith. The 17 member schools are located across the United States and include single-sex and co-educational schools.
ABOUT
Catholic boarding schools have been established in the United States for well over 200 years with some schools, such as Georgetown Prep maintaining a continuous history going back as far as 1789. Many have developed grand reputations attracting admissions from across the country and internationally.
That being said, demand for boarding schools has significantly reduced in recent years with many shuttering the doors to their dormitories and catering exclusively for day admissions. Catholic boarding schools, particularly, have found themselves falling out of favour to a greater degree than other schools. Undoubtedly, a litany of scandals and abuse allegations at certain schools has compounded this issue and many schools have been forced to work extremely hard to distance themselves from their disgraced peers and to show that they have instituted robust frameworks for the management of their schools and the care of the pupils within their charge.
The member schools of the Catholic Boarding Schools Association are an example of this effort, working collectively to develop a rigorous code of conduct and best practice approaches that has seen them emerge as some of the leading faith-based boarding schools in the country. Many of the schools instruct pupils in accordance with Sacred Heart or Benedictine principles – Catholic orders with a strong reputation for academic excellence.
Most of the CBSA member schools are also members of The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) and the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) as well as being accredited by their appropriate state body and/or the National Association of independent Schools (NAIS). Many of the schools are also members of the Small Boarding Schools Association (SBSA). Member schools of the CBSA include those listed below. You can find out more about the CBSA here.
