YCIS students have many opportunities to interact with and support the local community and organisations worldwide. With “Align with Love and Charity”, a crucial part of our school mission, YCIS students continue to develop individual character through our CAS programme, a significant element of our IB Diploma programme.
What is CAS?
CAS allows students to learn outside the classroom in fun and exciting ways where they can discover their strengths as well as areas for growth. They have opportunities to acquire initiative-taking and planning skills and persevere to implement plans. In addition, students can develop teamwork skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively. They will engage in global issues and consider the ethics behind different decisions and actions. Although such experiences will differ depending on each student's personality, talents and goals, every student has equal opportunity for learning and developing these critical life skills.
