Berlin - School Report Question and Answers

Do expatriate students socialize with local students at the school? Are both groups successfully integrated into the school culture?

Yes, and yes. That is the big value of JFKS is that American kids really do make friends with Germans, and largely, good integration, good partnership. - Sep 2018


Our children have friends from all over the world here. Perhaps 40% of the school are local German children whose parents want them to attend an English-speaking school. The rest are expat and diplomatic families. - Oct 2015


My kids' friends are American, German, and American-German whose parents work for the American government, German government, private industry, etc. It does not feel like they are not included because they are American or because of their limited German language ability. When they play, the primary language is English but already I hear more German spoken when they play with friends. - Apr 2014
