What are Christian Boarding Schools?

Christian boarding schools (CBSs) offer programs that allow a child or adolescent to attend their treatment program and live at their school.

It is most common for the parents or guardians to self-pay for the student’s tuition, plus room and board, because most Christian boarding schools (CBSs) are private schools without state funding.

Some schools offer reduced fees because of donations or grants, and most schools provide some financial assistance, whether scholarships, grants, or individual payment programs. Your insurance may cover some of the cost of medical or mental health care at the school.

The majority of CBSs are a type of therapeutic boarding school that helps children with mental health or behavioral issues.

Check out this information for therapeutic boarding schools and how to choose the best one for your youth so the school is the right fit for your child.

These schools were founded on concepts from the Bible. With rare exceptions, students do not need to be Christian to attend these schools. If you are looking for a residential program that provides the Christian support your child, teen or young adult requires, consider one of these schools.
