CAS – Creativity, Activity, Service is an important element of the Diploma Programme.

Creativity

Creativity represents an imaginative approach to the broad spectrum of the world of art (dancing, theatre, music, painting), including creative thinking in the design process and the ways service projects are being conducted.

Activity

Activity is taking part in expeditions, individual and team sports, extracurricular physical activities as well as physical activities as a part of the project for Creativity and Service.

Service

This strand is the core of CAS; it is characterized by interaction, building connections with individuals and groups within a community (school, municipality, on a state and international level). These activities do not only mean working for the others but also working together with the others and developing sincere devotion.
