The aim and vision of Guildhouse School is to be an immersive environment for ideas and creativity, where students are empowered to make a positive impact on our world – we create tomorrow’s change makers. We aim to give our students every opportunity to achieve the academic success to which they aspire. We aim to enable students to realise their goal of progressing to a university and the chance to pursue their career of choice.

The school is a co-educational independent day and boarding school catering mainly for international students aged 15+.

In October 2022 “CATS College London” rebranded to Guildhouse to better represent it's unique geography and educational offering as part of the CGS Global Schools Group.
