Heartwarming reflections from November’s Café Parents! ☕️

This session’s topic, Stress in School, brought our community together to discuss academic pressure, practical coping strategies, and student well-being. But what made today truly special was the incredible participation of four of our 1ère students: Zélie, Aisha, Agathe, and Anaïs! 👏✨

Their involvement made this session an extraordinarily rich and gentle dialogue. Parents and students shared perspectives, unpacked behaviors, and offered supportive advice in an atmosphere of complete mutual respect and care.

Moments like these embody what the IFS community is all about: nurturing spaces where students and parents connect on what truly matters, supporting our holistic approach to education and family well-being. 🌟

A massive thank you to our four student speakers for their courage and openness, and to the Parents’ Commission for organizing another successful Café Parents! 💙

Stay tuned to learn more about our community initiatives. 📲

Día de los Muertos at IFS: Culture, Art & Tradition! 💀🇲🇽

To mark Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), our Spanish Department has been bringing this vibrant Mexican tradition to life across the school! 🌼🕯️

Just before the holidays, our 5ème and 4ème students crafted colorful papel picado (traditional decorative paper banners) to set the festive mood. ✂️🎨

The celebration continues at the main entrance of the lycée, where our official Altar de Muertos is now on display. Come admire the creative work of our students:
✨ Detailed calaveras crafted by our 5èmes
✨ Intricate altares designed by our 4èmes

This hands-on project gives our learners a meaningful way to explore Mexican heritage, honor memory, and express their artistic creativity through language learning. ❤️ A huge congratulations to all our students for their incredible dedication and respect for this beautiful tradition and thanks to our teacher Mme Martin for leading this project! 👏

Stand Together: Anti-Bullying Day at IFS 💙

At IFS, creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for our students is always a top priority. Today for Anti-Bullying Day, our students showed up in full support to promote kindness, respect, and empathy across our campus! 🤝

Our students got involved wearing special bracelets as a visible pledge of their support and commitment to standing up against bullying. They also participated in interactive workshops, quizzes, and scenario-based activities to learn how to identify, address, and stop bullying. Learning how to recognize, prevent, and respond to bullying empowers them to create a safer environment for everyone.

Every action counts in building a safe space for all. Thank you to our students, our infirmary counselling center and staff for making this day a impactful success. Let’s keep supporting one another every single day!
