ISKL Co-Curricular Activities by CAS Strands

Creativity

...is exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance.

Creativity can be explored in different areas: visual, performative and literary arts; speech and debates, information technology, etc. It provides opportunities for students to develop different kinds of skills and knowledge, and leads to the appreciation of human imagination, ingenuity, and crafts in both familiar and unfamiliar territories. It can also be problem-solving ideas in certain situations.

Activity

...is physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle.

The Activity strand reminds all of us that our body needs physical work or exercise in order to remain healthy. This is important because the IB Diploma Program does not have PE, so students should take care of their health and physical fitness.

Since each person has a different level of stamina and athletic ability, Activity can be done in a variety of ways . It can be personal fitness with our school's trainer, Mr. Jeyen Ramachandran or with another trainer off-campus; it can be recreational sport, or athletics in Junior Varsity or Varsity teams at school.

Service

...is collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need. There are four types of service: direct, indirect, advocacy, and research. Service must be unpaid work.

Students should explore the four types of service. The only requirement is that all IB Diploma students must participate in direct service with people who live in different circumstances outside of the ISKL community. This can be done through any of the ISKL's community partnership clubs. The minimum commitment required is for one season (6 - 7 weeks) or equivalent. See the document here for more information.
