CFIS ANNUAL FUND

Each year, the CFIS Annual Fund raises funds that are invested in advancing our school’s top priorities, creating an immediate and visible impact throughout the community. This year’s Annual Fund theme is Every Classroom Counts, will aim to Raise $350,000 toward upgrading and building new classrooms, creating warm, innovative, hands-on environments for every student. 

Last spring, our community invested over $250,000 to transform Senior and Middle School collaborative learning spaces and upgrade the Primary Gym. The difference is already visible in the excitement and engagement of our students. From new furniture, to STEM equipment, musical instruments, and more, your support will help us build a school where curiosity thrives and creativity grows.
 

FALL MATCHING CAMPAIGN 

This fall, with  thanks to the Bilkoski and Pollock families, our community has an incredible opportunity to double their impact. Through the generosity of Aaron and Keltie Bilkoski, and Sean and Beth Pollock, every gift of $1,000 or more, made between now and December 31, will be matched up to $50,000.  As a non-profit organization, each eligible contribution is tax receiptable and will go twice as far.

When every classroom counts, every gift counts. Grow with us.   

bridging BURSARy  

The CFIS Bridging Bursary is partially funded through the generosity of our community and provides support to current students experiencing temporary financial hardship. Families may choose to direct their charitable gifts toward this fund, helping ensure that all students can continue to thrive at CFIS. As we often say, it takes a village, and the Bridging Bursary is a meaningful example of our community coming together to care for one another.

Student travel and experiential learning at CFIS go far beyond traditional sightseeing. Our focus on educational exploration and cross-cultural connection deepens students’ understanding of the world and their place within it. Through these experiences, students build resilience, adaptability, empathy, and independence. With thoughtful preparation and meaningful reflection, travel becomes a catalyst for lasting personal and intellectual growth. Through the Round Square Travel Bursary, more students each year have the opportunity to take part in these life-changing experiences.

“My first Round Square conference and travel experience truly deepened my understanding of diversity through my passion for public speaking. In just a week I was able to refine communication and collaboration skills! I returned to CFIS with new ideas and a new sense of purpose, and I understand that my voice truly makes a difference in society.”  - Round Square Travel Bursary Recipient, Class of 2026
