NIS CAS (Creativity Activity and Service ) Programme for MS/HS

At the heart of our IB Diploma you will find Creativity, Activity & Service (CAS). We believe that it is an integral part of the IB mission to support students in 'developing a personal value system that guides their lives as thoughtful and active members of local and global communities'.

CAS is not only a grade earned towards graduating, but it is a life lesson that enhances a childs knowledge, abilities and skills to becoming an active, responsible and effective member of society.

'CAS is intended to be a collection of enjoyable and challenging experiences determined by students to extend their abilities.'

'Creativity' encourages students to explore and extend ideas that will lead to an original, interpretive and productive performance. 'Activity' teaches students to lead a healthy lifestyle through physical activities. 'Service' is the collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to authentic needs.

In the process of completing CAS, specific learning outcomes students must complete the following:

• Identify their own strengths and develop areas for growth
• Demonstrate the challenges that have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process
• Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience
• Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences
• Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively
• Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance
• Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions

At NIS we base our choices on what's best for our students, we believe that it is imperative to emphasize on skills, talents, and areas of growth to keep them motivated. We constantly challenge ourselves and our students by balancing between creativity, activity and service. We Simply enjoy CAS and by helping our students achieve the goals set are creating experiences that assist personal growth and offer a world of possibilities.
