Director's Welcome

As the Director of JFK, it brings me immense joy to extend a heartfelt and enthusiastic welcome to our Small School with a Big Heart! Located in the breathtaking surroundings of the Swiss Alps, our institution has been a pillar of educational excellence since its inception in 1971. Throughout the years, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to providing local families with an outstanding educational experience, delivered by a team of exceptional teachers, within our newly renovated and awe-inspiring facilities. We are wholeheartedly dedicated to forging ahead on our journey to create a school that not only educates but also leaves a profound and lasting impact on the community we are privileged to serve. Our vision encompasses the provision of equal opportunities for all our cherished pupils and students, regardless of their background or circumstances. It is our firm belief that every individual has the potential to flourish, and it is our duty to nurture and cultivate that potential.
