Creativity, activity, service (CAS) is one of the three essential elements that every student must complete as part of the Diploma Programme (DP).
CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development by learning through experience.
It provides opportunities for self-determination and collaboration with others, fostering a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment from their work.
At the same time, CAS is an important counterbalance to the academic pressures of the DP.

LO-1 - Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

"CAS was not something I really appreciated until much later – after uni[versity], and well into professional life. From where I stand now, it was incredibly valuable." ̶ DP alumni
