Hereof, how does IB CAS work?
IB CAS 11 and 12 is a self-paced course that helps students apply citizenship, creativity and an active lifestyle with their academic endeavors.

Subsequently, question is, what is a CAS experience? A CAS Experience can be a single event or may be an extended series of events. A CAS experience must: cover at least one learning outcome. fit within one or more of the CAS strands. be based on a personal interest, skill, talent or opportunity for growth.
