THE IB HEXAGON CAS forms part of the central IB hexagon ● CAS is a requirement of the IB diploma ●
WHAT IS CAS? ● Creativity ● Activity ● Service Students must complete CAS experiences regularly over the 18 months of the IB diploma
THE ETHOS OF CAS The idea is that students carry out meaningful activities throughout their IB programme that are not directly related to their IB academic subjects ● The student should take on a new role through each CAS experience ●
● CAS aims to develop “global citizens” with a sense of social responsibility and understanding of the needs of the world around them. ● Students should be actively involved in planning a personal CAS programme. ● Provides the opportunity to do something the student has always wanted to do.
Coherence in the Core Support, and be supported by, the academic disciplines Foster international-mindedness Develop self awareness and a sense of identity
● CAS provides the opportunity to formally acknowledge a student’s out of school activities ● Each CAS programme should contain a variety of experiences
Skills, talents and interests Students should approach their CAS by thinking about what they can do and what they would like to do. Opportunity for self-determination, collaboration, accomplishment and enjoyment.
