Families

1. Live with a Family: Most students find living with a Guatemalan family one of the best parts of their experience at CBA. Families speak only the language being studied; they provide relaxed opportunities for the student to speak and listen. Families include ourstudents in their everyday lives. One can get a picture of life for an average Guatemalan family and come to better understand Guatemalan customs and culture. Your tuition also serves as a valuable source of income for lower middle class families.2. Other arrangements: If preferred, a student may elect to stay at one of the comfortable hotels near the school or make other suitable arrangements. In such cases, 30 US$ is subtracted from your tuition. 3. The family provides: a private room, 3 meals a day, clean drinking water and a hot shower. We place only one person or couple per family.
