What is CAS?
CAS stands for Creativity, Activity, and Service. The opportunity to participate in this IB Program is open to all juniors and seniors at Aspen High School and takes place over the course of their two final years as high school students.

Creativity, Activity, Service
CAS helps our students find balance outside of academics. Students engage in CAS experiences and one CAS project that involves collaboration, planning, commitment, and leadership. Students are reflective within their experiences and this shows as students grow throughout the IB program.
