The Verein

The Verein was founded in 1962 shortly after the opening of the school by parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends of the JFKS as a private charitable organization. Since then its goal has been to support the excellent learning environment at the JFKS.   In order to supplement the school budget provided by the Berlin Senate, The Verein raises funds through membership fees and a variety of projects. These funds support the bilingual, bicultural and unique environment at JFKS, thereby preparing students for success in a global world.

The Verein supports the school and its academic curriculum with funds raised through membership fees and donations. We give to each class, various school departments, individual projects, school trips, FUN DAY, Spooctacular, the JFKS flea market, the JFKS shop, the supply kits for new parents and much, much more…
