CAS
Creativity, Action & Service Core Requirement Info
Embedded Files
One goal of Sunset's IB program is to help students become responsible and compassionate citizens.
The IB Diploma's CAS requirement encourages students to share their energy and special talents with others through Creativity, Activity, and community Service. Students may, for example, participate in theater or musical productions, competitive and non-competitive sports, and community service activities. Students participate in these activities in order to develop a greater awareness of themselves, a concern for others, and the ability to work cooperatively with other people.
Creativity is interpreted broadly. It includes a wide range of art activities but can also be defined as the creativity students show in designing and implementing service projects. Activity can include not only participation in individual and team sports but also taking part in hiking and backpacking expeditions and in local or international projects. Service encompasses a host of community and social service activities, such as helping children with special needs, visiting hospitals, and working with refugees or the homeless.
