CDS encourages activism through education for our students. Through several divisional projects, our students are challenged to explore topics that matter most to them and pursue action on how to better themselves and our world. Through the 5th grade exhibition program, 8th grade 20% project, 10th grade personal project, and Internal Assessments and service hours for Diploma Programme students, CDS emboldens its students to think beyond the walls of our institution. Below are just some of the many organizations that empower people to act now to make change.
