As part of the philosophy of educating the ‘whole’ person, the IB Diploma requires that students involve themselves in Creativity, Activity and Service. Students are expected to complete a programme over the two years, evenly balanced over these three distinct areas. 

A Diploma student who is unable to meet CAS requirements will not be able to receive an IB Diploma.
