Director's Welcome

As the Director of JFK, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm and enthusiastic welcome to our Small School with a Big Heart! Nestled in the breathtaking Swiss Alps, our school has been a beacon of educational excellence since 1971. Over the years, we have provided local families with an outstanding educational experience, thanks to our exceptional teachers and our newly renovated, inspiring facilities. We remain dedicated to our mission of creating a school that not only educates but also makes a lasting impact on the community we proudly serve.  Our vision is to offer equal opportunities for all our cherished students, regardless of their background or circumstances. We firmly believe that every individual has the potential to thrive, and it is our duty to nurture and cultivate that potential. At JFK, we strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed. We are excited to continue this journey together and to witness the incredible growth and achievements of our students.
