action will extend the students learning, or it may have a wider social impact, and

will clearly look different within each age range.

their developmentally appropriate responsibility in their community.This

Creativity, action, service (CAS) is at the heart of the DiplomaProgramme. It is one of the three essential elements in every studentsDiploma Programme experience. It involves students in a range ofactivities alongside their academic studies throughout the DiplomaProgramme. The three strands of CAS, which are often interwoven withparticular activities, are characterized as follows.

Creativity: arts, and other experiences that involve creative thinking.

Action: physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle,complementing academic work elsewhere in the Diploma Programme.

Service: an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefitfor the student. The rights, dignity and autonomy of all those involvedare respected.
