High School Online Program of Studies
IB DIPLOMA CORE Department
The IB Diploma has three “Core” components—the Extended Essay (EE), CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) and the Theory of Knowledge course. The TOK course is not restricted for enrolment to only full Diploma candidates and can be undertaken as an individual course. Requirements and expectations remain the same for course candidates as for Diploma students. Priority in registration for TOK will be given to full Diploma candidates.

Course Description: |
All IB Diploma candidates are required to participate in a balance of CAS activities throughout the first 18 months of their IB program. We recommend students set aside 3 to 4 hours a week to plan, do, and reflect on these activities. In addition, students will be required to engage in a one month long CAS Project, that is initiated by the student. Over an 18-month period, students will regularly submit reflections via ManageBac, a website for IB Diploma candidates. The completion of the CAS program is dependent upon students submitting a minimum of 15 meaningful reflections. In the reflections students provide evidence that they have achieved the seven CAS learning outcomes (See CAC CAS Manual for more details). All seven outcomes must be present for a student to complete the CAS requirement. Some may be demonstrated many times, through a variety of activities, but completion requires only that there is some evidence for every outcome. This focus on learning outcomes emphasizes that it is the quality of a CAS activity (its contribution to the student’s development) that is of most importance. CAS will appear as a pass/fail class on each full IB Diploma candidate’s school transcript. A pass is conditional on completing activities, reflecting regularly, and planning a service project on ManageBac.
