CAS

Creativity, Activity and Service

CAS

Although the IB programme focuses on high academic standards and strict assessment policies, it is also a holistic education that asks students to be open-minded, socially responsible, willing to take risk and critical thinkers.

Part of developing such skills is being involved in experiences that do not include academics and classroom teaching. Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) is a non-academic, obligatory subject that takes place outside of the classroom and asks students to be involved in extra-curricular experiences and carry out work in their community. The IB organization also encourages exchanges with schools from other parts of the world.

At Ikast-Brande Gymnasium we offer you a variety of after-school experiences within the school and we also work with the local community to create opportunities to make a difference and develop your leadership skills outside of school. Our CAS coordinators work with you on an individual basis to tailor a CAS program which fit your wishes and goals and our list of experiences and projects are therefore ever-changing. 

Below, you can see examples of CAS experiences and projects for inspiration. Remember, this is not a complete list!

"I joined the MUN Club in Pre-IB and have been part of running it in my senior year. MUN stands for Model United Nations and our goal is to simulate the UN as closely as possible. We debate global issues in a formal setting, and we discuss as delegates representing different countries. It’s great fun and you get to improve your public speaking skills. In MUN we are all equals no matter if you’re a first-year student or in your last year and everyone is really helpful and friendly."

Janis Gurutidis, IB student
