“My favourite memory at CATS Boston is Orientation Week. We were all outside playing games. It was a good chance to meet new people, learn about their culture, their experiences. It was really good.”
Landry, Grade 12/Senior
“Boston is a great student city. My friends and I like to go to Harvard Square as there are lots of nice restaurants. We’ve also been ice skating and to the trampoline park.”
