Top universities in the United States look for well-rounded individuals with a passion for their subject, varied social interests, and who will contribute to the community beyond the classroom.
Our Global Citizen Pathways provide structured clubs, opportunities, and activities for students to explore their interests, develop practical and leadership skills, contribute to the wider community, and build meaningful experiences that strengthen their university profiles and support their personal growth, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Students can select one primary pathway while participating in opportunities across the other areas. This would help them develop a focused, authentic story of growth and enables them to cultivate their passions while demonstrating the depth of their interests, leadership, and commitment to top colleges and universities.
Our Academic Exploration and Future Readiness pathway includes clubs that will challenge and develop each student’s academic abilities. This will give them the opportunity to work with students from other schools in national competitions, taking part in the Model United Nations or entering national competitions as part of our Math Club.

At CATS Academy Boston, you will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of leadership, community service, and social impact initiatives. By taking on a student leadership role or contributing to projects that make a positive difference in the local community, you will develop valuable skills such as effective communication, public speaking, teamwork, organization, and problem-solving. These experiences will help you build confidence, strengthen your sense of responsibility, and develop the leadership qualities needed to create meaningful change both on campus and beyond.
Community Service
Representing an international student body, student government is the voice of its peers. Collectively, student officials help create recreational and academic events for their fellow students and charity. Elections are at the beginning of each academic year and all students are invited to be involved in government duties.
Being part of student government teaches you how to work with others, develop leadership skills, how to take the initiative, learn different political structures and helps build your university or college application.
Student leaders within the CATS Boston residential boarding community are prefects; they are a valuable resource for students and contribute to building a strong sense of community on the campus. Prefects serve as role models, demonstrating sensible and responsible lifestyles; and take on this role with great responsibility and accountability.
All incoming Grade 9 students have a smooth transition into the CATS Boston community by being partnered with a returning student leader. The mentor’s primary goal is to support new students in all facets of school life including academics, student life, boarding life and for many, an adjustment to a new country. Mentors and mentees have scheduled activities throughout the year to facilitate community, relationship-building and trust.
Each year CATS Academy Boston selects some of its top students to become ambassadors. Student ambassadors are students who demonstrate leadership abilities, reflect a positive academic attitude and are involved in the school community.
Student ambassadors’ responsibilities include:
House Council Representatives work on behalf of all boarding students at CATS Academy Boston. They help students improve their grades, school life, and friendships by providing an open line of communication between the student body and the school directors.
CATS Boston students, together with faculty, provide subject-specific assistance to students who have questions or who are looking for additional learning. Peer tutoring allows students to demonstrate their abilities, grow their confidence and develop their teamworking skills.
PLEASE NOTE: Extracurricular clubs are subject to change and will be offered depending on student interest.
