The Enrichment Program & C.A.S.
CAREER MENTORSHIPGraduation Requirement
Each student must complete a 24 hour career internship in which the student has the opportunity to shadow a professional in the work environment. The internship fosters an understanding of career decision-making, the world of work, and the connection between school and career. This requirement will be fulfilled in grade 11 or 12. This requirement can be met through an individually arranged internship or through designated career enrichment. This also satisfies one of the four enrichment requirements. |
CAS HOURSGraduation Requirement
Participation in the Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS) program encourages candidates to be involved in artistic pursuits, sports, and community service work. The IB takes seriously the importance of life outside the world of scholarship. The emphasis of CAS is on experiential learning. Students are required to complete and document a minimum of 50 hours in each of the three CAS areas. Students keep detailed journals and mementoes, where possible, of all qualifying activities. The individual student, in designing and carrying out service projects, interprets creativity as imaginatively as possible to cover a wide range of arts and other activities. Action can include participation in expeditions, individual and team sports and physical training; it can also include carrying out creative and service projects as well as training for service. Service is community or social service; it can include environmental and international projects. |
