Calgary French and International School (CFIS) is a private, independent day school in Calgary serving ages 1 to 18. The school delivers the IB continuum—PYP (Preschool to Grade 5), MYP (Grade 6 to 10), and DP (Grade 11 to 12)—alongside the Alberta/Canadian curriculum, with full French immersion and Spanish language enrichment. Established over 50 years ago as The Calgary French School, CFIS was Calgary's first French immersion school and has grown into a Round Square and UNESCO Associated School. It earned IB Diploma Programme authorization in 2019 and is pursuing PYP candidacy and MYP by 2025. The 700 77 Street SW campus features two gyms (7,000 sq ft and 8,000 sq ft), a 100 m by 60 m main field, and two U12 pitches, plus dedicated music and band spaces and on-site cafeterias. CFIS emphasizes travel and global citizenship through Round Square and offers robust arts, languages, and sports opportunities.
