CAS is one of the core elements of the IB Diploma and is required for anyone doing the IB Diploma, but everyone is welcome to participate!  It is a great way to develop skills and broaden experiences. The goal of CAS is to encourage students to push their boundaries and take risks through investigation, planning, action and reflection.

Over the past years, BeBe students have participated in a wide variety of CAS activities, a few of which we list here below.  Some activities would fit into more than one category!

SERVICE

For their CAS project, 12th graders  Lilian Böhme and Lia Kolloch mentored newly arrived 5th graders by organizing partnerships between older and younger students. Collaborating with teachers and social workers, a collection of students from grades 11 and 12 assumed responsibility for a 5th grade class, organized communal activities and helped the young students adjust to life in their new school. Highlights were a Halloween party, ice skating and a sports day. Inspired to keep this successful project afloat, the founders turned over the organizational reigns to incoming 12th graders Alina Bila and Helen Geftler.
