The school was developed from the original Chalet Pfrundacker Children's Home which opened in 1950.

We offer a unique, family-oriented, educational environment where all students are motivated to fully develop their talents and skills in order to prepare them for acceptance into the best and most demanding secondary schools and also for the challenges of the world in which they will live and work.

We are making key strides towards creating a school which makes a significant difference to the community we serve and that provides opportunities for all our pupils and students.

In 2011, the school was bought from the Lovell Family and then donated to the School Foundation Board to become a non-profit institution. The Foundation Board, which is made up of members of the local community, share a love for the school and have a desire to see it succeed and flourish.

An Executive School board gives support to the Director, as well as establishing the long and short term plans for the school and overseeing the annual operational budget.

The school is a co-educational English-language boarding and day school for children ages 4 to 14, culminating in the Year 9 (Grade 8). The growing student body is made up of around 60 students from over twenty different countries.

At John F. Kennedy International School in Bern, my son has not only excelled academically but has also grown into a confident, curious learner thanks to the dedication of the amazing staff.
