TFS - Canada's International School

PARENT MESSAGE The Parent Perspective O ur TFS Entrance Scholarship parents share their thoughts on the development of their children over the past year: "We noticed a remarkable change and development in our daughter's academic achievement, intellectual development and emotional maturity this year. She became more responsible and more interested in her studies. Although very busy during the past year, she was very happy and diligent at the same time. She has shown great academic development, especially in French, and is able to communicate in French with her teachers and classmates. In addition, we noticed great development in skills such as coding, mathematics and better knowledge in electronics. She became more responsible, reasonable, confident and independent. Also, she became able to solve her problems herself." – Parents, Grade 7 scholarship recipient "Throughout this past year, I have observed many improvements in my child's academic achievement, intellectual development and emotional maturity. His average is greater than that of his first year, and he puts more time into his academic responsibilities. In addition, he manages his time more efficiently without supervision. He often speaks about some very interesting world actualities and ideas when at the dinner table. He has also grown into a calm and collected individual and a good example for his sister." – Parents, Level I scholarship recipient "The TFS scholarship offered to my son was like a sunny day in gloomy winter. The international environment and the advanced TFS education are a once in a lifetime opportunity, and he is very fortunate to have received it. Over the past year, it was clear that the exceptional TFS curriculum challenged and engaged him in a way that previous schools did not. He has grown to be an eager learner. The teachers are the best of the best, and they have been and continue to be an essential pillar in his education." – Parents, Level II scholarship recipient "Our child has developed a greater sense of cultural awareness and enrichment not only of his own culture's history, but other ethnic backgrounds that have helped develop and support the backbone of this country. Support from his teachers has pushed him to be more of a risk taker when facing new challenges. TFS has stretched his learning and caused him to gain confidence in seeking opportunities outside of school, and engage in community programs offering opportunities for those willing to be leaders in his community. He has built long lasting friendships with peers, teachers and parents that will be forever appreciated. This scholarship has presented opportunities for us that would have otherwise been very difficult to achieve on our own." – Parents, Level III scholarship recipient "In the last few years, I have observed tremendous growth in my child's academic achievements, both intellectually and emotionally. She is able to recognize a problem and work hard to solve it. She comes up with new positive ideas to improve things. She has greatly improved in her leadership skills, continuing to learn languages, and her academic performance in general. This scholarship has always meant a lot for my family. It has removed the financial barrier and concerns that I have had for my daughter and paved the way for a better future for her life. It has helped me a great deal in my time of need, and has motivated my children to work harder and excel in their academics. Through this I have been able to give more time to my children, especially my son with special needs." – Parents, Level IV scholarship recipient 6 Impact Report: TFS Entrance Scholarship Program | February 2022
