At CATS Academy Boston, students are actively encouraged to engage in STEAM subjects – science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics – as a foundation for success in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world.
We offer a robust STEAM curriculum, allowing students to explore a wide range of specialized courses across all five disciplines.
Learning extends beyond the classroom through a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs, giving students further opportunities to deepen their interests and apply their skills in real-world contexts
The Innovation Lab at CATS Academy Boston provides students with the tools, technology, and support they need to bring their ideas to life and excel in STEAM-related fields.
Equipped with advanced resources, the lab offers hands-on opportunities for students to explore engineering, technology, and the arts in depth. Whether designing and building competitive robots in our Robotics Club or
creating original works of art using cutting-edge tools, students benefit from a dynamic environment guided by passionate and experienced STEAM educators, enhancing both their academic development and college readiness.






“With the CATS Academy STEAM Program, you don’t just learn from Powerpoints and lectures; you get to build robots and compose electronic circuits which is great. This has been a great program for me because I get to try everything which has helped me see which part of engineering I would like to pursue in college.”
