A Future-Ready Programme 

The IB Diploma Programme provides an engaging and balanced curriculum encompassing academic rigour and social, emotional, and physical well-being. In 2019, the IB Diploma Programme was introduced to CFIS students in grades 11 and 12. This programme enables extraordinary academics and personal development.

At CFIS, we believe in empowering our students. That's why we offer a flexible IB Diploma Programme that allows them to pursue their passions and interests, all while meeting the programme's requirements. CFIS students can choose to enrol in the full IB Diploma Programme or in specific IB classes that interest them.

All CFIS graduates demonstrate proficiency in English and French by earning an IB certificate in French B HL alongside their diplomas, highlighting the school's commitment to bilingual education and rigorous academic standards.

CFIS showcases strong academic achievements, with 30% of graduates earning the full IB diploma, Alberta High School Diploma and the CFIS Bilingual Diploma.
