The big picture on TFS - Canada's International School
We wrote a book reviewing the school
The 50-page review of TFS - Canada's International School is part of our series of in-depth accounts of Canada's leading private schools. It provides a unique and objective perspective on the school's academics, programs, culture, and community.
"TFS - Canada's International School is the only full-continuum International Baccalaureate world school for French and English in Canada. Co-educational, bilingual and internationally minded since 1962, TFS teaches the curricula of France and Ontario through the framework established by the IB programs (PYP, MYP, DP), leading to the French National Brevet diploma, the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and the Advanced Bilingual IB Diploma. As such, it offers an experience that is rich in challenge, diversity and opportunity to students whose families come from 40+ different countries.
No prior knowledge of French is required, but all students graduate as bilingual due to our successful Intro program, offered up to Grade 7. TFS students are multi-faceted, passionate learners, who form friendships for life in our supportive community. Co-curricular programs include competitive sports, robotics and creative arts. Students benefit from exceptional facilities, a 26-acre ravine and a diverse, non-denominational environment. TFS has campuses in Toronto and Mississauga."
