CAS hours - 150 total for I.B. diploma candidates
Creativity is interpreted broadly to include a wide range of arts activities
as well as the creativity students demonstrate in designing and implementing
service projects.
Action can include not only participation in individual and team sports but
also taking part in expeditions and in local or international projects.
Service encompasses a host of community and social service activities. Some
examples include helping children with special needs, visiting hospitals and
working with refugees or homeless people.
Interested in politics? Get involved with the upcoming
election; talk to I.B. personnel for project acceptability.

Great way to get involved with an international project
Get a group together - raise some funds (car wash, bake sale, etc.) then help
finance someone in the world that needs this random act of kindness).
