Upcoming open houses will let parents and families get a look at the spacious new centre that recently opened at TFS – Canada’s International School in Mississauga.
Known as Canada’s first French immersion school, the Toronto French School’s West Campus in Lakeview celebrated the start of the new school year with a ribbon-cutting for the new centre, which brings 12,600 sq. ft of additional space to the school.
The expansion, funded in part by generous contributions from many of the school’s parents, alumni and staff, includes Gymnase Kaneff (a junior regulation-sized gymnasium well-equipped for hosting home games and tournaments); Galerie Bechara (a beautiful viewing gallery overlooking the gymnasium); as well as an inviting new school entrance and upgraded classrooms.
The new centre also features an impressive state-of-the-art design studio outfitted with cutting-edge technology for students to learn practical engineering, robotics, and creative problem solving.
A series of open houses and guided tours will offer an opportunity to explore the new centre firsthand over the coming months. The new centre is designed to help students pursue their passions, gain confidence and strengthen their leadership and teamwork abilities, while also serving families and the broader Mississauga community for generations to come.
The spacious centre with its premium facilities contributes to Toronto French School’s reputation as a place for students to learn and thrive in an inclusive community.
The school is renowned as the only bilingual and full continuum IB World School in Canada, providing a high-quality and internationally focused education that’s designed to develop students’ knowledge and skills both inside and outside the classroom.
To celebrate the new athletic centre, Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes attended the grand opening for a Q&A session with students, and led them through a series of fun basketball drills..
At TFS West Campus, students ranging from Pre-K (Age 3) to Grade 7 are taught French as a first language through play learning, songs and other activities that make it fun and take out the intimidation factor.
The campus’s tight-knit community fosters a strong sense of connection, allowing students to build close friendships and meaningful relationships with their teachers. With a close-knit student body, teachers and staff can devote more time and attention to each child, getting to know them individually and supporting their unique needs.
Students who complete Grade 7 can then go on to continue their education at the TFS campus in Toronto, taking advantage of the school’s complimentary shuttle bus service that conveniently runs between Mississauga and Toronto.
More than a new facility, TFS – Canada’s International School says the new West Campus Athletic Centre is a shared investment in the community, and a space that will amplify school pride and unity today and tomorrow.
