What is CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service)?
CAS represents the importance of life outside the world of scholarship, providing a refreshing counterbalance to academic studies.
- Creativity is interpreted broadly to include a wide range of arts activities as well as the creativity students demonstrate in designing and implementing service projects.
- Activity can include not only participation in individual and team sports but also taking part in expeditions and in local or international projects. Students can also set their own goals for physical fitness.
- Service encompasses a host of community and social service activities. Some examples include helping children with special needs, visiting hospitals and working with refugees or homeless people.
Students are expected to be involved in CAS activities for the equivalent of approximately 2-3 hours each week during the two years of the program.
