Dear IA Juniors,

You've done it! Your junior year is almost done!

At this point, you should have a minimum of 9 CAS experiences and reflections. Remember to enter one for July and one for August over the summer. You should have 11 by the time we return to school. Think of CAS as an 18 month internal assessment :-)

Do not wait for approval for each CAS experience! If you cannot decide if it would qualify, use the chart below.

Also, summer is great opportunity to complete your CAS project! The proposal form is below!

If you have any questions, please reach out! Have an amazing summer break!

The IB Learner Profile aims to develop students who are risk-takers. Students who are risk-takers are able to approach unfamiliar situations and uncertainty with courage and forethought. They have the independence of spirit to explore new roles, ideas and strategies. Risk-takers are brave and articulate in defending their beliefs.

IB students transition well to challenging university settings and show resilience and determination in their work. In academics, they have the confidence to approach new or unfamiliar subjects or material.
