Digital platforms offer more than just online versions of the classroom. They open up new ways to learn and assess, and our partnership is tapping into this potential to transform education.

Our goal isn't just to assess skills but to prepare students for the complexities of the modern world. By using the latest assessment tools, we’re helping students learn how to tackle problems, work together, and lead.
catalyst transcripts
After completing a CATALYST programme, students receive a personalized transcript. This isn’t just a report card – it's a deep analysis of skills in six key areas:
Defend a Narrative
How well can you create and present compelling arguments?
Communicate Effectively
Are you able to clearly express ideas and connect with different audiences?
Collaborate with Empathy
Can you work well with others, understanding different viewpoints?
Use Data with Confidence
How skilled are you in handling data?
Negotiate Outcomes
Are you able to reach effective solutions under pressure?
Solve Problems
How effectively can you identify and solve complex challenges?
The Catalyst transcript advantage
A CATALYST Transcript is more than feedback – it's a guide for continuous improvement. It offers personalized suggestions and resources to help students enhance their skills and projects, even after the programme ends.
"The CATALYST Transcript is very thorough and thoughtfully written, I have to say. As a former secondary educator and now academic — and a parent! — I’m impressed with how incredibly detailed this feedback and mentoring was."
- Susan (parent)
