CATS Canterbury (formerly Stafford House College) is a school in Canterbury, England catering primarily for foreign students. It is owned by the Cambridge Education Group. The school specialises in teaching English and preparing students for pre-university exams such as A-Levels and the International Baccalaureate.

[edit] History

Established in 1952 as a public school for people who wanted to send their children to have the public school education and experience, but who did not want to send their children at such a young an age as other contemporary public schools required. It started out in the London location of Kensington, but later was moved to Canterbury.

The College is now spread over five sites in south Canterbury. Each year around 200 students prepare for external examinations and university entrance at the College.

CATS Canterbury has a long standing tradition of helping students to gain places at university. On average 97% of students from the college succeed in gaining degree course places.[citation needed]

It has been authorized to offer the IB Diploma Programme since April 2007, the programme is taught in English.[1]
