At CATS Academy, our primary focus is getting you into the top U.S. university for you. Unlike many other countries where admission is based on standardized test scores, U.S. universities and colleges take into account everything about a student, not just academics.

Our program builds your talent, focusing as much on developing you into a well-rounded individual as it does on grades and exams.
