Dear Community Members,
We are proud to present to you the new strategic plan for TFS. It is
not intended to
bring with it a major course correction, but to deepen
our thinking, focus our priorities,
inspire us and communicate more
clearly who we are and what we stand for.
Over the last few years, we have gathered valuable input from staff,
parents, students and alumni. It is this wide consultation, this multi-
layered dialogue with the community, that has lent its title to our
strategic plan: Engagement.
The name is also meant to reflect our vision for students. As a bilingual,
international school, we are in a unique position to empower our
pupils to engage actively in society so that they can have a positive
impact in their communities and beyond.
TFS has a venerable history that has contributed to the shaping
of today's Canada, and our strategic plan builds on these solid
foundations. Many of its elements are timeless, including the mission,
vision and values, given that these express our identity as a school.
What will undoubtedly evolve, as time moves on, is how we live the
different elements and translate them into practice.
This plan represents our community's commitment to education
as a means to equip our children with the necessary tools to improve
the world we inhabit. It also gives each of us an opportunity to reflect
on the role we need to play in guiding them in this pursuit, as they
grow physically and mentally into promising young adults.
We thank you for joining us in this noble endeavour.
A vision for
the future.
