Academics

Two Languages, One Home

At JFKS, our academically rigorous curriculum draws from both the American and German educational traditions, with the shared goal of fostering respect, tolerance, and cross-cultural understanding. Instruction is delivered in both German and English, enabling students to engage academically in both languages across all disciplines.

We define learning as:

Making meaningful connections and building on the creativity of our students; using biculutural and bilingual and problem-based methods; engaging students in an inspired learning process.
