CAS= Creativity+Activity+Service

CAS is part of the IB (International Baccalaureate) curriculum system. The International School Altdorf in Switzerland is an IB international school with professional CAS teachers who organize CAS activities for students. We develop students’ overall skills in creativity, activity, and service awareness, which helps students learn to know themselves, challenge themselves, strengthen their mind and cooperate with others.

CAS activities include many cultural and sporting activities such as dance classes, talent shows, table tennis, chess, cake making, pizza parties, poetry club parties, cheese fondue parties, visits to art/music clubs and other innovative activities.

Experienced teachers will lead the team for short trip, such as to the city Lucerne, Europa Park, Mount Titlis, or wander around the small town of Altdorf. Students also has the chance to take a cruise sailor course (including certificate) and learn how to sail a cruise ship for a day.  We will also visit some of the world’s top universities, such as ETH Zurich and University of Zurich, so that the teens can have an insight of the highest ranked world-famous universities.
