The CAS Strands

The Three Strands Explained

The CAS Program comprises a set of diverse learning experiences (divided into three strands) outside of the classroom setting.

Each CCA offered by SJII is connected to one or more of these strands.

Students are encouraged to engage with activities across the strands during their time at SJII to support the holistic education program as well as to satisfy NYAA and CAS requirments.
