Toronto French School (TFS)

TFS – Canada’s International School was founded in 1962 with the vision of creating a bilingual education system that prepares students for a globalized world. Today, it is a prominent co-educational school serving students from age 2 to university entrance. TFS combines the requirements of the French National Curriculum with the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, offering a unique dual-perspective education that is rare in North America.

The school’s philosophy is built on the pillars of academic ambition, international-mindedness, and an all-round development of the individual. Students at TFS become fully proficient in both French and English, while also gaining a deep understanding of diverse cultures and global issues. The curriculum is highly rigorous, consistently producing students who gain admission to top-tier universities worldwide.

Located on a 26-acre campus near Bayview and Lawrence, TFS provides extensive facilities including modern science labs, theaters, and athletic complexes. The school community is highly diverse, reflecting the multicultural nature of Toronto itself. While the primary language of instruction for most subjects in the early years is French, the balance shifts in higher grades to prepare students for the bilingual IB Diploma.
