IB CAS Ideas

One of the three mandatory components of the Diploma Programme that every student must complete is creativity, activity, and service (CAS) (DP). Students participate in a variety of extracurricular activities in addition to their academic studies as part of the Diploma Programme’s CAS course.

There is no official evaluation. However, as part of the DP, students reflect on their CAS experiences and offer proof that they met the seven CAS learning objectives.

The three components of CAS, which are frequently entwined with specific activities, can be summarized as follows:

Creativity – creative experiences in the arts and other fields.
Activity – physical activity promoting a healthy lifestyle and supporting other academic studies in the DP.
Service – an unpaid, voluntary exchange that aids the student’s education. All parties involved have their rights, decency, and individuality respected.

Through experiential learning, CAS enables students to advance their interpersonal and personal growth. It offers chances for independent decision-making and teamwork, encouraging a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment from their work. CAS serves as a significant counterpoint to the DP’s academic demands.

To help you out, here are 50 CAS ideas for you:
