CREATIVITY, ACTION AND SERVICE CAMP
CAS — creativity, action, and service — is a pillar of the IBDP international curriculum. Service learning is one of the best avenues for personal growth. With a heart to serve others, students can make a big difference to the world.
The greatest advantage of IDEAS CAS camps lie in their authenticity (linking real social problems to personal projects), academic focus (multiple disciplines) and action (stimulating students' initiative, responsibility and sense of achievement by "learning from doing").
