Creativity, Action, Service Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) is a framework for learning through service. Designed to involve students in new roles. Students spend time building relationships and developing the self-worth of both server and served. Students must be involved for 3 hours per week (on average) from August of 11 th grade until April of 12 th grade.
Extended Essay Extended Essay (EE) is an in-depth study on a topic of the student s choice. Students choose a staff supervisor who guides them through the process. The upper limit is 4000 words for EE. Great way to learn how to perform research and write at a college level.
