The CATS Academy Boston National Honors Society hosted an unforgettable charity event, and some incredibly brave staff members stepped up to take a pie to the face for a great cause!

Students gathered to cheer on their favorite teachers as whipped cream flew and donations poured in. Thanks to the amazing support from our community, nearly $500 was raised for our chosen charities!

What a fantastic day of giving back and making memories together!

The CATS National Honor Society hosted an inspiring alumni panel talk featuring CATS alums now studying at Emerson, Brown, MIT, and Northeastern.

Our alumni shared valuable insights about their university experiences, while our Juniors and Seniors engaged thoughtfully, asking meaningful questions and eagerly absorbing their advice for the future.

Thank you to our alums Waris, Carolina, Htoo, and Nikita.

At the start of May, we proudly celebrated our Senior Girls’ Volleyball players during Senior Night!

Their dedication, passion, and commitment to the team have left a lasting impact.

Students came together to show their school spirit and cheer on Coach Isabelle and the team as they battled in the semi-finals. A memorable occasion honoring teamwork, perseverance, and the incredible heart of our senior athletes!

Our CATS Academy Boston Scholars recently visited Berklee College of Music to experience an incredible live performance by Professor Eguie Castrillo and a talented big band made up of Berklee’s outstanding students and faculty, featuring special guest Humberto Ramirez, Latin Grammy Award-winning musician, composer, and Berklee alumnus.

For many of our aspiring musicians, visiting a world-renowned institution like Berklee was more than just a fun trip, it was a glimpse into what their future could look like.

The Scholars’ Program rewards students for their dedication and academic achievement with exciting experiences including concerts, sporting events, museum tours, lectures, and university visits. These opportunities help students explore their passions, build friendships, have fun, and start imagining life after graduation.

Work hard. Explore more. Dream bigger 🎼 🌎

April was full of creativity, expression, and voice at CATS Academy Boston as we celebrated Poetry Month 📖✨

Students took to the walkways outside Adams Hall for Chalk the Walk, sharing favourite poems or crafting their own verses, brought to life with original illustrations. In Magnetic Poetry, creativity took a playful turn as students built short poems from word magnets, discovering new meanings through unexpected combinations.

We also celebrated spoken word through Poetry Out Loud, a national recitation competition that helps students strengthen public speaking skills, build confidence, and explore literary history.

Congratulations to our Poetry Out Loud finalists Roger, Defne, Nate, Alexia, and Leon for their outstanding performances 🎤👏

A month that reminded us how powerful words can be when they’re spoken, written, and shared.

Our annual Culture Fair at CATS Academy Boston brought together the incredible diversity of our community in the most vibrant way, through traditional foods, music, and dress. From sharing home flavors to celebrating heritage on stage, it was a powerful reminder of how incredible our school community is.

Here’s to learning from one another, celebrating every culture, and building a truly global family 🌎

We are proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of our students at our annual CATS Academy Boston Awards Ceremony, honoring excellence across academics, the arts, and athletics.
