Service as Action (DP)

The aLphabet Difference

Service as Action (DP)

Learning moves beyond the classroom as students in the DP engage in creative, physical, and service-oriented projects that make a real impact. Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is one of the three essential elements that every student must complete as part of the DP. Whether it’s artistic expression, athletic challenges, or social impact work at local, national, or global levels. Students don’t just learn about the world — they actively contribute to it.

"Each student has a different starting point, and therefore different goals and needs, but for many their CAS activities include experiences that are profound and life-changing."
