Student Success

“I wanted to attend an Ivy league school and CATS Academy Boston has made it possible. I have been constantly supported by my college counsellors. The environment in CATS Boston has provided me with an opportunity to excel.”

“I think CATS provides a wide array of extracurricular activities and leadership opportunities. I am a Prefect for my dorm and captain of the Ultimate Frisbee team. In the U.S, they take a lot of your activities into consideration. It’s part of their holistic review process so they will not only look at your academics but also your activities or the extra experiences you’ve had outside of school.”

“I really enjoy the culture at CATS Boston and the atmosphere in this highly dynamic boarding school. I believe that being immersed in the environment that has over 35 nationalities is a huge benefit for students to learn about different cultures and traditions. This place has really changed not only my academic experience, but also the way that I react to the surrounding world, and really changed my perspective.”

“I would say if a student is seeking to get more opportunities and develop anything they’re passionate about, come to CATS Boston. If you want to start learning guitar or want to develop your art skills or want to debate, you can just go for it. You have the resources and everything here. You have open doors in front of you, just step in and do what you want to do.”
