The John F. Kennedy School is a primary and secondary school in Berlin, Germany offering integrated, bilingual education for both German and American children. The school was originally established in 1960 by the U.S. Military Government along with local Berlin authorities and parents. It was initially called "Deutsch-Amerikanische Gemeinschaftsschule / German-American Community School" to provide elementary school facilities (high school came later) and to foster cultural exchange between young natives of West Berlin and children from U.S. Armed Forces families. The school was renamed in 1963 after the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy. Most of the present buildings were built in the late 1960s with some additions in the 1990s. After Germany's reunification in 1990 and the withdrawal of the Allied Forces, the mission of the school was redefined. Originally the focus was primarily on reconciliation after the Second World War; today, the school is a model for bilingual schools in Europe. More information...
