The C.A.S. School Making a Paradigm Shift Founded in 1981 by Sami Mustafa, the C.A.S. School looks at the objectives of schooling beyond good grades and academic achievements. Its Programme of Studies includes academic courses, learning modules, seminars, foreign languages and community service. It is hoped that by experiencing this larger context of learning, students will grow up with confidence, self-esteem, leadership initiatives, and an interest in the broader aspects of social, cultural and developmental issues.
