With the new state-of-the-art performance facilities in the new building the students will be able to develop and discover their creativity and passion for the performing arts with a dedicated center that has professional resources to catapult their progress.
It will allow cultural events to take place throughout the school day and will allow BFIS to host international theatre and performance festivals which will raise our school’s profile as a champion of the arts on the world stage."
Doug Hundley, BFIS Secondary Musical Theatre Director
“Contributing to BFIS’ Fundraising Campaign was meaningful for our family because we’re very happy with what the school has done for our kids up until now. Equally important, is our belief in the vision, direction, and leadership that’s driving our school towards what it will be for our learners tomorrow and in the future.
As a board member I know that there’s real money required to do the work to reach our vision and I find it difficult to ask our community to chip in if I’ve not make a contribution alongside them. We all want the same great opportunities for our children and I know that our community is strong and will make sure we reach our goals and live out our vision.”
Marquis Brown, BFIS Foundation Board Member and BFIS parent
"I know that I won't benefit from the new building, but I am very excited to know that many of my friends in lower grades, and so many other students will. It is such a great addition to our facilities.
The plans for the new Design Center and the new gymnasium are amazing and I am sure everyone will experience great learning in those spaces. There are so many great things happening at the school right now, that it makes me want to stay longer at BFIS."
Marta Briales, Grade 10
"The new High School building will transform our students’ experience in science classes. Members of the science department have been visiting other schools and researching current best practices in science classrooms in order to design the best possible learning spaces for our students. We can’t wait to get in there!"
Julia Halverson, BFIS MS Science Teacher
"My kids are happy when they arrive back home from school. The Principals and supporting staff of BFIS greet them with caring and loving open hands every morning.
They walk into their classrooms with confidence and a big smile. We are completely satisfied that they are surrounded by the best-trained teachers and loving people to start the day. The teachers at BFIS are constantly discovering the strengths and weaknesses of each child. They discuss the same with the parents and give suggestions for positive parenting at home.
As a parent, we have made the right choice to enrol our kids in BFIS. Our experience with the school towards our kids' education continues to delight us. We are thankful for the school and I would recommend BFIS to everyone. It is a great school with perfect management and excellence in education.”
