VISION

The students of the Calgary French & International School will graduate
as global citizens with strong academics, positive character, and excellent language skills
to provide them with choice and opportunity in their lives.

MISSION

Within a caring community, we immerse, educate and empower students.

We immerse:

• Our rigorous academic program is taught in a full French Immersion environment.
• We immerse each student in an educational setting that promotes personal achievement.
• We immerse all students in a world rich in learning experiences, from the languages and sciences to the arts.

We educate:

• We educate beyond the realm of the curriculum and help each student to be the best person they can be.
• We educate students to be accountable for their learning, for their attitudes and for their behaviours.
• We strive to challenge each student and to excite each one about the possibilities that immersion education offers.

We empower:

• We trust children, and we empower our students to grow up in our community as caring individuals.
• We empower our students to see beyond their school community and provide opportunities for them to positively contribute to and impact the world.
• We empower children towards independence. They leave the CFIS community as self-reliant young men and women.

For Our Collaborators in the Community
CFIS strives to foster and build mutually beneficial relationships for the long term.

As an independent school, our doors are open to support the needs of the larger community. We are a Public Private Partnership (P3) model that aims to achieve goals for the mutual benefit of the community and school. We have established the precedent where the surrounding communities can come together through use of the sports and recreational facilities we have constructed and by providing space for community association programs without the communities needing to shoulder the burden for the on-going operating costs of their own facilities.
