Congratulations on your posting to Berlin! We believe that you will find Germany’s capital to be an exciting and rewarding experience. If you have children, the John F. Kennedy School can help to ease the transition for your family through its German-American school program, blending the best of both worlds. As part of our bilingual, bicultural mission, we provide an education that aligns closely with schools in the United States. This includes A.P. courses at the high school level and the granting of an American high school diploma. While maintaining American standards through our accreditation by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, we simultaneously introduce your children to the rich culture and language of our host country. There is a long-standing special relationship between the John F. Kennedy School and the United States. The school was founded as a joint project of the U.S. Army and the City of Berlin almost 50 years ago. With the departure of the Army at the conclusion of the Cold War and the relocation of the U.S. Embassy from Bonn to Berlin, the State Department became the new official American voice in the governance of the Kennedy School. The special status of the Embassy allows the ambassador to appoint three members to the school’s board of education, who collectively have a veto power over all decisions of the board. This arrangement ensures that our school remains responsive to the needs of Embassy families at all times. As the only school co-governed by the U.S. Embassy, your children have guaranteed admission to the Kennedy School, regardless of time of year of your arrival or grade level sought. You need only to download our application form using the link provided below, fax or mail it in, and your children will have a place at our school. In addition to providing a largely familiar education for American children, the Kennedy School also supports the JFKS Sport Club, which offers recreational activities in a variety of sports, including baseball, thoughout the year. Many of these activities take place right here at our school. During the summer, the Kennedy School plays host to the Embassy’s summer camp. As you can see, the connections between the John F. Kennedy School and the U.S. Embassy community are everywhere. We welcome you to our, to your, school. If there are any questions or issues with which we can assist, either before or after enrollment, please give us a call using our direct lines. We are here to serve you.
