About TFSWelcome and bienvenue.TFS - Canada's International School is a bilingual, co-ed school that educates students from age 2 to university entrance. No prior knowledge of French is required at TFS for students applying up to and including Grade 7. Our Introductory French Program gives students intensive instruction in the French language, while following the same curricula as their peers. It has been a proven success at TFS since we began almost 50 years ago. TFS provides its students with an international perspective, through the combined strengths of the curricula of the Ministry of Education of Ontario, the Ministry of Education of France and the International Baccalaureate programs. Our students are well prepared to be internationally-minded citizens of the 21st century. Enhancing our international curricula is our staff. They arrive at TFS from across Europe, Asia, Africa and South and North America, bringing rich histories, traditions and unique points of view. They show our students the world. |
