Life at TFS
CEDRIC was born in France and enrolled at TFS in Senior
Kindergarten. As a bilingual school, TFS was a clear
choice for Cedric's parents, who wished him to retain
his native French. Cedric is fluent in French, English,
Portuguese and Spanish.
With a dizzying resume of achievements, Cedric excelled
in athletics as well as the arts at TFS and displayed
extraordinary leadership. An alto saxophonist, Cedric
was the first student in TFS history to be accepted into
the Conference of Independent Schools Music Festival's
(CISMF) jazz band. From 2014 to graduation, he was a
Band Head, Senior School Wind Ensemble. He is proud
to have contributed to the ensemble's success in the
2016 CISMF competition, attaining fourth place in the
country. The highlight of his years, however, was being
selected by the school principal to head the CIBC Capitalize
for Kids investing competition club. Cedric recruited students
interested in business and entrepreneurship to compete
against thousands of participants using a professional
trading platform. Despite the tough competition from top
Canadian universities, two of Cedric's club members
placed in the top 10 in Canada, while 14 others placed
among the top 200. For his long-term service project,
Cedric enjoyed volunteering at Holland Bloorview Kids
Rehabilitation Hospital.

different cultures
— to see things

perspectives —
will be a great
benefit to me."
