What is CATS?
Collaborative Academic Testing Service, P.A. (CATS) is a professional association that helps independent schools administer and coordinate admissions testing for young applicants. Our organization’s doctoral-level licensed psychologists administer the highest-quality individual cognitive abilities testing for children applying to participating schools. After testing, the CATS office distributes evaluative reports to the families’ chosen participating institutions. CATS has been serving schools and parents since 2004.
Value of CATS
The value of Collaborative Academic Testing Service lies in the coordination we facilitate among participating schools and in the high quality of our assessments. By coordinating testing information, young applicants are protected from over-testing and schools are assured of authentic assessment results. And because testing is our business, we make sure that only the best psychologists perform our assessments. CATS psychologists are highly qualified, personable professionals who enjoy working with preschool and school-aged children. Parents and schools can rest assured that we make every effort to provide a professional yet enjoyable testing experience for children.
goal
The goal of CATS and all participating schools is to ensure that appropriate placement decisions can be made for every applicant. We look forward to treating your child with the respect and professionalism that he or she deserves. Thank you for your cooperation during the admission process.
