Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) is the framework through which students engage in service, artistic and active experiences. The CAS program includes Creativity, Activity, and Service strands; experiences must deliver real outcomes and involve reflection. ECA offers a variety of clubs and activities that incorporate sports, service learning, and creativity. The school is pursuing IB Middle Years Programme candidacy for 2026, with full implementation planned for the 2026-27 school year.
