Creativity, Action, Service (CAS)

Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) is experiential education, it is learning from experience. CAS aims at developing the personality of the students, helping them become more active, compassionate and aware citizens than they would have been otherwise. CAS has its genesis in the academic work of David Kolb and Roger Fry and the writings of Kurt Hahn, the reknowned German educationalist. Students at the Franconian International School are required to engage in 150 hours of meaningful and global CAS activities during their last two years of high school. CAS is not an academic content area and does not mandate a grade, but it is a requirement to graduate.

BOOKBRIDGE - a core CAS project at the FIS

BOOKBRIDGE strives for a worldwide balanced access to education, regardless of religious, ethnical or geographic origin. By providing access to books and quality education, we empower people with a sustainable basis to help themselves and therefore break the cycle of poverty. BOOKBRIDGE would not be possible without the exceptional support of our strong partners. The students at the FIS collect and sort all donated books and continue their efforts by traveling to Mongolia to build libraries for the book collections. This is an authentic CAS activity focusing on," Every Book Counts" and together we achieve more.
