CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) Guides
Navigate CAS requirements with confidence - from planning meaningful experiences to effective reflection.
CAS is the experiential learning component of the IB Diploma, requiring you to engage in Creativity, Activity, and Service experiences throughout your two years. Unlike your academic subjects, CAS isn't graded - but it is mandatory. More importantly, it's an opportunity for genuine personal growth and making a difference in your community. The key to CAS success is approaching it with authenticity: choose experiences that matter to you, engage meaningfully, and reflect honestly on what you learn.
Key Takeaways
- Choose experiences you genuinely care about - authenticity matters
- Document as you go; regular reflection is more valuable than summaries
- Your CAS project is mandatory - plan collaboratively and start early
- Balance across all three strands throughout your IB journey
- Focus on learning and growth, not hour-counting
