Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)

CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) is one of the core components of the IB Diploma Programme. It encourages students to engage in a range of experiences outside the classroom to foster personal and interpersonal development.

• Creativity involves exploring and extending ideas through artistic or imaginative activities.

• Activity focuses on physical exertion that contributes to a healthy lifestyle.

• Service requires students to engage with the community through unpaid, voluntary work.

Students must complete and reflect on experiences in all three areas throughout the two-year program, helping them develop skills like collaboration, perseverance, and empathy.

In order to demonstrate these concepts, students are required to undertake a CAS project. The project challenges students to:

• show initiative

• demonstrate perseverance

• develop skills such as collaboration, problem solving and decision making.
