CAS which stands for Community, Activity and Service is a part of the Core in IBDP along with Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge. It is the only ungraded component in IBDP where the students have to meet the seven learning outcomes at least once through various experiences they undergo in their 2 years of IBDP. What makes CAS special is that it is student initiated. Students can choose to pursue an activity or experience of their liking either to express their creativity, pursue a physical activity or be a part of community service.

CAS IN IBDP
Our IBDP students have been extremely enterprising! Some commendable CAS initiatives by our DBIS students have been:
- Mentee meet, a mentoring program by Vritee Muni for the students and by the students. Its aim was to guide and help students from Grade 8 to 12 with subject choices and help them decide which curriculum would work for them and also career choices.
- Crackbox – An website created by Trishit Dedhia for educators and learners where they can upload and download study material in the form of creative posters designed by a team of students.
- Gupt Daan – A CAS initiative by Karan Khadenwal, Keshav Nagpal and Kashish Bote to distribution dry food ration kits in the rural areas in Maharashtra turned out to be an all school initiative where DBIS distributed around 1100 kits across villages in Maharashtra during the first wave on the pandemic.
- The students have had the privilege to work with some of the best of the theatre and film industry through their workshops with Mr. Cyrus Dastur from Shamiana Shorts and Mr. Sudeep Modak of Mr. Sudeep Modak Theatre Company where they students learnt the finer nuances of theatre and films and created their own pieces as a culmination
CAS is a great platform for students to explore their personalities and find ways to learn new things while improving on the ones they already know well. We at DBIS are extremely proud of our enterprising and empathetic student endeavours!
