All subjects are taught in French (excluding English and Spanish). The school's mission is academic excellence combined with development of the whole student, in an internationally focused environment. The 120,000 square foot school facility was built in two phases, in 2003 and 2005, to accommodate a growing school community. The two-story school facility includes:
There are two cafeterias in the school, one in the Elementary wing and the second in the Junior/Senior wing. These cafeterias offer monthly food plans and À-la-carte items, so that students can order an optional meal for each day. There are also special lunch days (normally occurring at the end of each month) when students can order pizza, and various other items. The uniform theme is based on blue, red and grey. SportsThe CFIS Vikings sports teams include golf, volleyball, basketball, badminton, soccer, cross-country running, and track and field. The school's senior school basketball team ranked 1st in South Central zones. The junior team came second in the ISAA league. Their 8/9 Girls' volleyball team has won South Central Zones. The school's coaches are extremely committed to the game. For Physical Education, students are not only graded on their athletic ability, but on their good sportsmanship as well. There are also fitness tests including the beep test, sit ups, stretches and push ups. MusicalsThe school has an annual musical. All junior and senior high students are permitted to audition for the show which changes from year to year, and encouraged to help out behind the scenes if they do not wish to take an on-stage role. In 2010, they started the musical program with Seussical Jr. In 2011 they performed Hairspray. In March 2012 they performed Beauty and the Beast, Fame in 2013, and Legally Blonde: The Musical in 2014. In 2019 the amazing students performed Newsies: The musical. The musicals are always produced with a full set of lights and mics and for all the shows except Seussical, a live orchestra made of a mixture of students and professional musicians conducted by the school's artist in residence. DebateThe art of debate is an important part of our school culture. Our debate club competes in numerous English and French events throughout the school year. In past years, CFIS students have qualified for both Provincial and National Debate Tournaments. The idea behind debate is that there are two sides to every issue - the Affirmative and the Negative. The two sides of the debate have different jobs arising from their position with respect to the Resolution, issue or topic. Participants of the Debate Club benefit from developing public speaking, critical thinking, research and teamwork skills. We deal with the challenge of learning to be resourceful thinkers who can synthesize ideas and quickly articulate them. Clubs and optionsThere are many elementary clubs and Junior-High clubs. Clubs mostly take place during lunch/recess periods and are optional. There are Improv clubs, Debate clubs, Yearbook club, Student Council, Science Olympics, Environment Club, Jazz Club, and others. The school follows a six-day cycle. For students in Junior High, there is an options class 2 out of the 6 days during which students participate in Robotics, Photography, Weight Training, Visual Art, Drama, Outdoor Education, Sewing or Food Studies. During 3 of the remaining 6 days, there is a choice between band, Film Studies or Learning Skills (there are only 5 of the six days with option classes) . Students will select a different option for every quarter ( 4 in every school year) Travel StudiesOpportunities for national and international travel are offered in Junior/Senior High. These trips involve preparation / study beforehand and tie in with the appropriate curriculum. Every year, students go on trips in and around the city of Calgary, some of which include a ski day at Lake Louise or Sunshine Village. As well, students have optional cultural voyages to various destinations including grade 7 trips to Québec, Ottawa, and Montreal. For Grade 8, there is a Week-Without-Walls. In Grade 9, there is an optional trip to Costa Rica. For Senior High, the travel studies program changes each year. In 2011, the Senior High students went to Columbia, in 2012 they traveled to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands The Travel Studies program permits students to experience first-hand other cultures and learn about ecology, geography, history and social studies as well. It is also a great opportunity to bond with friends, as students normally share their accommodations with a few friends. The students in Senior High will be going to Cambodia for the 2013 trip. The annual CFIS gala, known as the Spring Benefit, is the largest fundraising event for CFIS. Since 2001, gala guests, donors and sponsors have helped raise almost $500,000 for CFIS programs and equipment. External links
