Dorm parents do in fact live in the dorm, but it's not what you might think. Each one has a space that you can call your own, private personal space where you can rest and recoup. It's a great set up for a couple or a family. And it's a great set up for the students at BFA too. After all, that's why we're here. Join us! Impact the world. Hide

It can seem overwhelming when life throws extra things at us...then multiply that times 22! Gulp. But we all work together as a team to care for every kid enrolled at BFA. The nurse's office, the travel/visa office and the BFA kitchen play key roles in that support. You know the adage, "It takes a village to raise a child." We live that every day and we need people like you to join our community. Don't worry if it seems like a lot. We've got your back. Hide

People often ask, "What are your days and weeks like? Isn't being a dorm parent a 24/7 job?" Being able to rest and stay healthy is important so we set regular blocks of time for our staff to be off duty. Living cross culturally can be an exhilarating, exhausting endeavor, but we can help you find a balance at BFA. Join us here! Impact the world. Hide
