The goal of Sunset's IB program is to educate the whole person and to help students become responsible, compassionate citizens. The CAS requirement encourages students to share their energy and special talents with others. Students may, for example, participate in theatre or musical productions, sports and community service activities. Students should, through these activities, develop greater awareness of themselves and concern for others and the ability to work cooperatively with other people.

Creativity is interpreted broadly. It includes a wide range of art activities but can also be defined as the creativity students show in designing and implementing service projects. Action can include not only participation in individual and team sports but also taking part in expeditions and in local or international projects. Service encompasses a host of community and social service activities, such as helping children with special needs, visiting hospitals and working with refugees or the homeless.

Sunset's CAS Coordinator is Ms. Kristi Miller.
