Prva gimnazija Varaždin

CAS is a framework for experiential learning, designed to involve students in new roles. The emphasis is on learning by doing real tasks that have real consequences and then reflecting on these experiences over time. Students participate a minimum of 150 hours over the two years in creative, physical and service activities in the local community. Students are required to plan, do and reflect (plan activities, carry them out and reflect on what they have learned), to take part in a range of activities, including at least one project, some of which they have initiated themselves, to keep records of their activities and achievements, including a list of the  principal activities undertaken and to show evidence of achievement of the eight CAS learning outcomes.
