John F. Kennedy School Berlin is a public, K-12 German-American bilingual school in Berlin Steglitz-Zehlendorf, serving more than 1,600 students. The program combines a German curriculum with an American approach and offers Advanced Placement in the upper grades, enabling graduates to pursue either the German Abitur or a U.S. High School Diploma. From Elementary through Grade 6, instruction is bilingual, with daily integration of English and German; in Grades 7–12, instruction is balanced across languages, preparing students to graduate fluent in both. The campus at Teltower Damm hosts facilities, including a library serving both language programs, computer labs, a media center, and multiple gyms, plus a year-round rowing option and fields. Extracurriculars abound: Model United Nations, Suzuki violin, choirs, Odyssey of the Mind, and Scouting, alongside the JFK Friendship Center and Hort after-school care. The school emphasizes bicultural, international education and offers language electives such as French, Spanish, and Latin.
