CAS Experiences Model
A CAS experience can be a single event or may be an extended series of events.
A CAS project is a collaborative series of sequential CAS experiences lasting at least one month
What CAS should be:
• Enjoyable experiences that allow for development of personal interests, skills and/or talents
• Experiences that provide new possibilities or challenges
• Experiences that are not used or included in your Diploma course requirements
• Experiences that provide opportunities to develop the attributes of the IB Learner Profile
What CAS is not:
• An experience for personal reward, financial or benefit-in-kind
• A family responsibility
• Any class activity or project that is already part of your IB Diploma Programme
• Simple, tedious and repetitive work
• An experience with no real aim or an achievable goal
