Assemblies

Assemblies, held at each branch, are theme- and values-based, making a positive contribution to students’ self-development and encouraging them to reflect upon TFS values.

Content-rich and age-appropriate, assemblies provide essential, dedicated time for learning about contemporary, thought-provoking issues and events that are school-based, local and international. Assemblies heighten the awareness of the needs of others, raise self-esteem, and create a sense of purpose and unity within the TFS community.

Societies

Our Senior School students participate in TFS societies, focusing on the themes found within UNESCO’s Citizenship Education program.

Through societies, our students develop an understanding of global governance structures, rights and responsibilities, global issues and connections between global, national and local systems and processes. They learn to recognize and appreciate difference and multiple identities (e.g. culture, language, religion, gender) and focus on our common humanity.

They develop and apply important skills for civic literacy, such as critical inquiry, media literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving. Working and learning together, they develop attitudes of care and empathy for others and the environment.

They develop values of fairness and social justice, and skills to critically analyze inequalities that people face worldwide.

Through partnerships with non-governmental organizations, they actively take on contemporary global issues at local, national and global levels as informed, engaged and responsible global citizens.

Clubs

Students at the Senior School can choose from more than 50 student-led clubs.
