CAS
Introduction to the CAS Programme
Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) is an essential element of the Diploma Programme and an integral part of life at Renaissance College. It involves students in experiential learning through a range or artistic, sporting, physical and service activities.
Successful completion of CAS is a requirement for the award of the IB diploma.
The Benefits of CAS
The CAS programme enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development through experiential learning. At the same time, it provides an important counterbalance to the academic pressures of the Diploma Programme.
Our CAS programme is designed to be both challenging and enjoyable, a personal journey of self-discovery. For many students, CAS activities provide experiences that are profound and life changing.
