Qualitative insights
These insights are based on conversations with parents, alumni, and school leadership. Handpicked and curated by our editor, they offer a close look at how the school is experienced and perceived by those who know it best.
TFS, it really does offer it all. I think whether it be academics, whether it be sports extracurriculars and then when you graduate from this amazing alumni pool, I think that TFS it's a great choice. It's a great choice for private education for your kids. There's not much that can go wrong in choosing TFS.
So I think as a student, my perspective was mostly that, okay, I'm at TFS, and it's this academically strong school. It has sports, it has clubs, and it's a school. But then as I transitioned from student to alumni about two years ago, it's when I really had that or experienced that perspective change where I realised that, yes, TFS is this amazing academic school, but it's also this amazing networking tool of alumni who are still, whether it's me two years out or it's an alumni 20 years removed now, are still willing to help, whether it's current students or new grads, build a career. And that includes looking over your resume, having a coffee chat, or just wanting to chat about whatever industry they're in. So I think the biggest perspective change was learning that TFS has this huge networking facet that will last forever once you graduate.
