Creativity=Involves the arts & creative thinking

Action = Physical exertion

Service = unpaid volunteer work that has
learning benefit.

Experiences should be done weekly. This is designed to be a lifestyle

Reflections are designed to help you become more aware and purposeful.

CAS lasts for 18 months

Nothing counts prior to the first week of your junior year.

Experiences continue during the summer of your junior & senior year.

What are you doing?
-Clubs (Model UN, I Dare To Be, NHS, etc.)
-Sports
-Theater/Band/Choir

We want to honor what you are doing anyway.

Is it Creativity, Activity, or Service? Or a
combination?

Setting a goal means deciding what you want to accomplish.

Plans: What steps do you need to take to successfully accomplish your goal? Try to keep it simple - set 3 to 5.

Change can happen - No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

During the next 18 months, what else what you like to do?

It's all about balance:
-If you are doing a lot of activity, what kind of
creativity have you always wanted to try?
-CAS is your excuse to try things you haven't
done before.
-Possibilities: Get with friends, teach them a
dance and go perform it at an elementary
school (creativity, action, & service)

Think: What did I plan to do? What did I
actually do?

Ask: How did I feel? What did I perceive? What
did I think about the activity? That did the
activity mean to me? What was the value of
the activity? What I learn from the activity?

Students must meet with advisors twice in their Junior year and once in their senior year.

Need to have approximately the same amount of experiences in Creativity, Action, & Service.
