John F. Kennedy School Berlin Reviews (8)

Sending my children to JFKS was one of the worst decisions I've ever made for my them. They were bullied and nobody did anything. The information flow is less than 0. One child had to repeat the school year and didn't know about until looking at the report card on the last day of school before summer vacation. That was psychologically really bad. By law (Berliner Schulgesetz) the school is required to inform the parents by mail early enough that the student has the opportunity to get a better grade. They never did. Same scenario right before graduation. Three days before the ceremony the school didn't inform us if my teenager passed or not (told us in January that there is a failing grade). I can go on and on and on but I won't. Think twice before sending your kid there. And beware of the easy access to "cookies".

Was there for quite a long time... Most of my teachers didn't tell me I was failing, there is not much support and very high expectations. A lot of negativity too. Would definitely not recommend to anyone who is more sensitive or can't handle stress well. This was just my experience, it may be different for others...
