Philosophy
The John F. Kennedy School, The American School of Querétaro, is a private, non-sectarian, non-profit institution offering a bilingual/bicultural education within the context of American educational traditions. It is quite a unique institution with a 40-year history of tradition and innovation in the field of international education.
It seeks to serve motivated students and families who appreciate the special nature of the school and its programs. Together with intellectual rigor, great emphasis is placed on the importance of understanding among peoples and responsible citizenship.
The school is deeply committed to making significant, positive, and lasting contributions to the education of all students who attend.
Along with maintaining a strong tradition of high quality bicultural education, the school has a commitment to innovation. It stays in the vanguard by constant reflection on best professional practice and examination of research on student learning.
All schools teach. Not all schools teach in the same way. There is no one ¨right¨ way or method of presenting lessons to students; rather, students learn in many different ways. Balance is our strength. At JFK a variety of ideas and techniques have been incorporated based upon findings of important educational theories and research; building a unique and effective way of teaching and promoting learning.
