What is CAS? 

Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) is an IB Diploma Programme requirement that is a part of the IB DP Core. The IB requires CAS as it enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development by learning through experiences. 

​Every student enrolled the IB Diploma Programme (DP) is expected to keep a CAS Portfolio where they record their participation in activities that meet the seven learning outcomes through the strands of creativity, activity and service. IB DP students all complete a CAS Project. 

These experiences occur over the 18 months the students is enrolled as Diploma student (Year 1 and Year 2). Along the way, students conduct interviews to ensure they receive the support they need.
