The River Cam in autumn, Cambridge

The Ānanda Group · Education

Three CATS pathways. One considered conversation.

Ānanda Academy sits with families in Hong Kong, London and Vancouver and walks three CATS Global Schools routes — a US boarding high school in Boston, a specialist arts college in Cambridge, and Stafford House English summers — until the next step is a decision, not a leap.

Sister to Ānanda Voyage. Same group. Same standard of care. A different kind of journey.

Three CATS Global Schools

Boston. Cambridge. A summer in between.

Sister schools, not rival brochures. A US diploma, a UAL arts year, or a British Council English summer — Ānanda helps you choose which conversation to have first.

Art & Design Extended Foundation

This is the arts equivalent of sixth form: a broad first year, a specialist second year, and a UCAS tariff that can outscore AAB at A-level. Preferred from 16 — after F.4, Year 11, Grade 10, or MYP 5.

Questions families actually ask

CSVPA is a specialist arts college in the heart of Cambridge, offering diplomas, foundation, undergraduate and master’s courses. Many of its Level 3 qualifications are awarded by UAL. It is not the University of Cambridge — it is a professional arts school that collaborates with Cambridge museums and researchers.
