For Alumni
TFS students form lifelong bonds and, after they graduate, each becomes a member of the TFS Alumni Association. There are now over 2,200 alumni all around the world! The Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations supports alumni and helps them stay engaged with their alma mater and with each other.
Ways to connect
The Alumni Directory is a secure electronic directory that builds community by helping alumni search for and communicate with former classmates. Among other things, alumni can update profiles, post messages, seek others with similar professions or interests, and promote their businesses.
Alumni registered in the Directory are added to TFS’ alumni email list. Email is the primary method TFS uses to stay in touch with alumni. If you have not yet registered, you are not receiving email notices of upcoming events, news and volunteer opportunities. Signing up is quick and easy on the Alumni Directory. Join the majority of TFS alumni who are staying connected!
Also facilitated through the Alumni Directory is TFS’ Alumni Mentorship Program. Over 200 alumni have already signed up. By filling out the appropriate information in their profile, alumni agree to let TFS’ Level IV and V students contact them directly to ask specific questions about academic programs, universities and career paths, or more general questions about places to work or live. Join the program and lend your knowledge and experience to help your younger TFS peers. Read our Alumni Mentorship Program FAQ.
Events and volunteering
There are many kinds of events and volunteer opportunities at TFS for alumni. Alumni get involved in the all-important Alumni Reunion Weekend and help out at TFS by judging debating tournaments or the annual Science Fair, or sharing their university and professional experiences with current students.
Class notes and school news
Entre Amis, a twice-yearly newsletter exclusively for TFS alumni and friends, was established in 2008 and is distributed electronically to alumni. Entre Amis is always looking for news about alumni to include in Class Notes. Let us know about anything new happening in your personal or professional life.
Entre Nous is the annual print magazine for the entire TFS community – alumni, current parents, students and staff. Each issue contains school-wide news and features about alumni, the rich history of the school and our teachers, as well as updates on current initiatives underway at TFS.
Alumni of Distinction Award
In 2008, TFS’ Alumni Association (TFSAA) announced its first Alumni of Distinction Award, recognizing an alumna/alumnus who has made a difference in the community and in the world. Annually, the Alumni Recognition Committee honours a fellow alumna/alumnus for her or his outstanding achievements and contributions to society.
Have your say! Read more about the selection criteria and then please nominate a deserving alumni for Le prix de distinction des anciens élèves de TFS. The submission deadline is November 30, 2011.
All TFS alumni are eligible to nominate a candidate or to be nominated, with the exception of members of the TFSAA Executive or the Selection Committee, and alumni currently employed at the school and their immediate families.
Nominations will be reviewed by a Selection Committee, comprised of alumni and the Head of School. The nominee and nominator will be contacted by January 2012.
See Award Winners to learn about the achievements of our previous winners.
Be part of the alumni team
Would you like to be part of the team that helps to shape alumni programs at TFS? Consider joining the Alumni Association Executive. The all-volunteer executive works closely with the Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations and is involved in:
-
Supporting school activities, including arranging for alumni to interact with current students at career lunches and act as judges at annual debating tournaments and science fairs
-
Hosting alumni/chapter events
-
Organizing our popular annual Alumni Reunion Weekend honouring classes celebrating their 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30-year reunions
Giving
In addition to volunteering, our alumni also demonstrate their support for the school through donations. One top area of alumni support is funding bursaries to attract top students who do not have the financial means to attend TFS. To learn more see Support TFS.
