About us
Terry Fox Elementary is a Francais+ school comprising French immersion instruction to the end of grade 3 while promoting the use of the French language and the celebration of la culture Québécoise as an essential component of 2nd language learning for every grade level. In addition to a strong academic tradition at TFES, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is our first consideration in all our programming decisions. To support student development in multiple domains, we have introduced a visual arts program as a course specialty which complements a vibrant award-winning music program including extracurricular band and choir. With a growing student population, a caring and highly trained staff, a supportive parent community, and beautiful setting, we all feel extremely fortunate to be a part of this wonderful school community.
