At FIS, our strategic plan indicates that our students should be 'culturally French and open to the world.' Our students, both in the French and International streams, can rely on the learning of French to achieve this objective.

Like high school graduates rushing towards their results, our young middle school students gathered with excitement and apprehension in front of the CDI panels to see all these texts displayed: those of their classmates that they discovered, and their own that they proudly read again. These texts, sometimes stained with (blood) red or accompanied by symbols of horror, are those composed at the end of last October by our students from both streams for the writing contest on th

1. Speak (Laurie Hase Anderson) - in English The first ten lies they tell you in high school. Speak up for yourself--we want to know what you have to say. From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, she becomes increasing

1. Hello universe (Erin Entrada Kelly) - in English In one day, four lives weave together in unexpected ways.
