Language and learning support
The student support team includes special education teachers, counselors and school social workers. Elementary support includes Reading Lab in English, Leseladen in German and Math Lab, with referrals made by teachers. High School support includes Math Lab, homework help and learning coaching. Support depends on individual needs and staff availability. JFKS does not offer a full special education program; the school may conclude that a smaller or monolingual setting better meets a child’s needs. External tutoring is arranged separately between families and tutors.

Application and budget details
JFKS admission requires space and normally German or US citizenship for the child and at least one parent or guardian. The child must speak the relevant language at an age-appropriate first-language level. Previous records and testing also matter. An international background alone does not satisfy these published admission conditions.
