What OIS students say about CAS Programme?

WHY of CAS: Passion & Balance 

As a diverse and caring community, Optimistic International School provides excellence in international education within an inclusive, compassionate environment. G11 and 12 students work on “a broad-based two-year course that aims to encourage students to be knowledgeable and inquiring, but also caring and compassionate. There is a strong emphasis on encouraging students to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness, and the attitudes necessary for them to respect and evaluate a range of points of view. “ (International Baccalaureate, “Creativity, activity, service guide For students graduating in 2017 and after”) 

CAS Programme aims to provide learners with experiences taking actions and practising their life skills in order to enhance their capabilities to contribute to the local and global community. Through exploring their own passion and practising a balanced lifestyle, students develop their personal identity. Successful CAS students support and are supported by their academic studies, foster interculturalism, and develop self-awareness and identity throughout the 2 year course.

Creativity Action Service (CAS) is one of the core of the DP, together with Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay, and HIS graduation requirement.
