"Don't tell them
how to do it, show them how to do it and don't say a word. If you tell them,
they'll watch your lips move. If you show them, they'll want to do it
themselves."

French Montessori School will strive to offer the best in
quality education and a caring "Family" environment for your

Our Christian education focuses on the moral lessons that are no
longer being taught in other school systems. As a result of our
bilingual programme, and our low ratio of teachers to students,
TFMS has become the school of choice for an increasing number of
parents. |

Our
Results (Canadian Achievement Test
for 2005-2006)
|
This test measures achievement in
the basic skills taught in schools across Canada.
CAT
is a set of tests in reading, mathematics, language, writing and spelling.
Students tested with CAT
have their results compared with students from across
Canada.
Their results are also compared to curriculum expectations.
CAT has been chosen by Statistics
Canada as the basics for tracking achievement over time. This year our Grade 3
students were tested in BOTH English and French. To our knowledge, we are the
only school in all of Ontario
that tests the students in both English and French.
