Greetings to all parents,
This year we are continuing the CAS program at ABIS, however, Creativity and Service has become Creativity, Action, Service. It might have changed shape but it is still an important part of our secondary program. CAS is the core of the Diploma Program for grade 11 and 12 students and it is mandatory that each student complete 150 hours throughout the school year. The CAS coordinator needs to sign off each student in order for them to graduate.
CAS is non-academic subject that focuses on the personnal development of each student. It is an essential component of the IB Diploma that intends to teach students how to manage a balanced lifestyle.
This year, we require that each student at the secondary level complete 75 CAS hours. Although it is not an academic subject, it is a requirement of our school and the IB Diploma Program.
