Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is formally completed in Grades 11 and 12, CAS is a core component specifically for students enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme at Dubai American Academy.

CAS—Creativity, Activity, and Service—encourages IB students to develop holistically through meaningful experiences beyond the classroom. Throughout their high school journey, IB Diploma students are expected to complete a minimum of 70 hours across the three CAS strands, allowing them to explore their interests, contribute to their community, and grow as reflective, engaged learners.

Creativity

Exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance

Action

Physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle.

Service

Collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need.

Through CAS our students experience new things, become more internationally minded, and have an opportunity to explore their passions outside of academics.  Through CAS, they are able to identify their strengths and develop areas for growth.  CAS empowers them to engage with issues of global significance, gives them an opportunity of self-determination and satisfaction for initiating and completing their plan.
