The FISW Gala is more than an evening of celebration. It is a reflection of our shared belief in the power of bilingual education and community connection. By coming together in support of FISW, we invest in an immersive, multicultural learning environment where students grow academically, socially, and as engaged global citizens. The Gala plays a vital role in sustaining the programs and opportunities that make a French immersion education at FISW so distinctive.
