CAS is at the heart of the Diploma Programme. With its holistic approach, CAS is designed to strengthen and extend students’ personal and interpersonal learning from the PYP and MYP.

CAS is organized around the three strands of Creativity, Activity, and Service defined as follows:

CREATIVITY

Exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance. Creativity will come from your talents, interests, passions, emotional responses, and imagination; the form of expression is limitless. This may include visual and performing arts, digital design, writing, film, culinary arts, crafts, and composition. You are encouraged to engage in creative endeavors that move you beyond the familiar, broadening your own scope from conventional to unconventional thinking.

ACTIVITY

Physical exertion contributes to a healthy lifestyle. You are encouraged to participate at an appropriate level and on a regular basis to provide a genuine challenge and benefit. Those who regularly participate in suitable activity experiences are encouraged to develop and extend their participation. You could expand personal goals, explore different training models to enhance your existing sport, or become involved in a new sport.

SERVICE*                          *there are 4 types of SERVICE action

Collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need. The aim of the “Service” strand is for you to understand your own capacity to make a meaningful contribution to your community and society. Through service, you will develop and apply personal and social skills in real-life situations involving decision-making, problem-solving, initiative, responsibility, and accountability for your own actions.

You must have an even spread across these three categories and achieve all 7 Learning Outcomes over a minimum of 18 months.
