• CAS experiences are the activities, projects, and initiatives that contribute to your growth through Creativity, Activity, and Service.

• A meaningful CAS experience should involve active participation, personal engagement, and opportunities for learning & development. 

• CAS experiences may be school-based or outside of school, and can be completed individually or with others.

Supervised & Unsupervised CAS Experiences

Students are required to complete at least one supervised CAS experience in each strand: Creativity, Activity, and Service. These experiences may be supervised or unsupervised.

Supervised Experiences

Supervised experiences involve a qualified supervisor (e.g. a coach, instructor, faculty advisor, mentor) who supports your participation and development throughout the experience. For school-based activities, the designated faculty or staff advisor serves as the CAS supervisor

Unsupervised Experiences

Students may also pursue independent CAS experiences without a designated formal supervisor.

For all experiences, students are responsible for:

• Setting clear goals and outlining the experience in ManageBac

• Adding regular reflections that demonstrate learning and progress

• Uploading appropriate evidence, such as photos, videos, certificates, or work samples

At the end of the commitment period, students should request a supervisor review through ManageBac to verify their participation and engagement.

NOTE: Supervisor reviews are not required for unsupervised experiences. However, approval and completion will be verified by your CAS Advisor or CAS Coordinator through your ManageBac portfolio.
