What are the expectations
regarding CAS?
At SIS we want students to view CAS as part of their personal growth journey. For this reason CAS is student-led, meaning the onus is on students to take a proactive approach towards their CAS journey.
We hope that given agency and choice, you will approach CAS with a positive attitude and partake in experiences that will challenge you and that you will also enjoy.
​
Regardless of your pathway (IBDP/IBCP/SIS Course) we expect all students to partake in CAS, tailored towards your chosen path.
