Location:

Colegio Americano de Torreón A.C.  (CAT) is a private, non-profit college preparatory school governed by a fifteen-member board of directors.  It was founded in 1950 and accredited in 1954. The school is located in Torreón, an industrial city that is part of a metropolitan area known as the Laguna which includes the neighboring towns of Lerdo and Gomez Palacio, with a combined population of approximately 1,400,000.  

Our Community:

CAT serves approximately 900 families, most of whom are upper-middle-class Mexican professionals who seek a bilingual Spanish-English education for their children.  Our school is also the first option for a few international families living temporarily in Torreón for professional reasons.

The school's organization extends from Pre-Nursery to 12th grade with a total enrollment of 1438 students with 255 in early childhood, 513 in elementary, and 670 in secondary school (7th through 12th grade). CAT also offers Intensive English, a separate, concentrated English-language program for incoming seventh graders who did not attend CAT in elementary school. 

The school director, principals, and assistant principals, along with directors of technology, curriculum, athletics, public relations, finance, and human resources assist with daily operations.
