Stafford House Study Holiday Program (SHSH) is part of CATS Global Schools (CGS), one of the leading providers of pre-university academic courses and English language courses hosting international students aged 12-18. The program is designed to provide short-term language courses with evenly balanced academics, social activities, sports and excursions in a safe, well-managed environment.

Each year, Stafford House opens ‘pop-up’ schools in multiple locations across the US and UK. These schools offer an all-inclusive language and cultural experience for juniors students (ages 10- 18). In addition to daily ESL classes, Study Holidays students participate in a robust activities program that allows them to practice their English through sports and other social activities on campus as well as regular excursions to popular cultural & historical attractions within the New England area.

Our summer school is located in a brand new state-of-the-art facility. Our curriculum and teaching methodology focus on interaction and engagement.
