We at CFIS are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our first Round Square global exchange students! The students hail from three different countries: Australia, Singapore, and Colombia. All of our incoming students will be participating in classes in French and English Language Arts, Spanish, Health and Life Skills 9 and Physical Education.
On February 24th, several CFIS students from grades 5, 6, 7 and 12 gathered together in the early morning at SAIT in order to compete in the First LEGO League (FLL) Robotics competition. Their mission: to have fun while coding and presenting their hard work. 
On Wednesday morning, I attended Mme Dorrance’s parent engagement session, around the topics of academic excellence and whole child development. There was excellent and extremely positive discussion around the things parents most appreciate about their child’s CFIS experience, as well as constructive and thoughtful suggestions of things we could add to these aspects of our mission.
Over the past several weeks, I have sought input from faculty, staff and CFIS parents on the subject of CFIS’s international programming.
