CAS is all about experiential learning - learning through doing - and the best part is you get to choose what you do. It can be anything from helping your dad construct a shed, to taking part in a public debate. You’ll need to do roughly 5-10 different ‘experiences’. Some will be solely Activity (e.g. playing football for a local team), some a mixture (e.g. raising money by doing a Sponsored Walk). Some will be alone (e.g. learning the drums), some with others (e.g. plying drums in a band). If you’re doing DofE, ALL of the things you do for that will count for CAS. You get to do some exciting activities that you already enjoy, or have always wanted to try, and it counts towards your Diploma. So. it’s guilt-free time away from your school subjects! Creative thinkers will be the foundation of the future world, as will healthy, active young people.
All IB Diploma students undertake an Extended Essay on a topic of their choice, to develop skills in independent research, critical evaluation and formal written communication. Students spend around 40 hours on it spread over several months, and have around 3 hours one-to-one contact time with an academic supervisor, who provides advice and guidance. All the skills involved in preparing and completing an Extended Essay are highly transferable, not least commonly providing a focus for university application personal statements and in competitive interviews.
