Why DFC is ESSENTIAL for IB and Cambridge Schools?

For IB World Schools (CAS Solution)

The annual DFC program is the most efficient and structured way to manage the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) component of the IB Diploma:

• Satisfy Learning Outcomes: The FIDS methodology naturally produces the necessary documentation and reflection needed to cover all seven CAS Learning Outcomes (e.g., increased self-awareness, showing commitment/perseverance, undertaking new challenges).

• Reduce Coordinator Burden: We provide the external structure, resources, and teacher training, saving the CAS Coordinator countless hours on developing and assessing project frameworks from scratch.

• Proof of Impact: DFC projects create high-quality, authentic portfolios that significantly enhance university applications.

For Cambridge International Schools (Project Skills & Global Focus)

DFC directly supports and elevates the skills required for Cambridge's most rigorous qualifications:

• Enhance EPQ/IPQ Success: The DFC framework teaches students the necessary planning, ethical inquiry, and community engagement skills before they embark on the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or International Project Qualification (IPQ), leading to more robust and higher-scoring projects.

• Global Perspectives Integration: The program serves as the perfect action component for the Global Perspectives (GP) curriculum, translating classroom research and debate into tangible community action.

• Structured Skill Development: We provide structured, measurable training in critical thinking, leadership, and collaboration—skills essential for success at A-Level and beyond.

DFC is not an add-on; it is a turnkey framework that ensures your students meet the highest demands of global project-based qualifications with measurable success.
