Director's Message

Welcome to JFK, the American School of Querétaro!

It has been nearly 60 years since our Founding Parents opened the doors to our first students. With so many years of experience, the JFK is now a well-known, highly respected and very well-established institution in this beautiful city. Sitting on a five-hectare, carefully planned, green and spacious campus, our school still looks and feels as fresh as ever. There is an energy here, a sense of excitement and a sense of happiness.

As we move forward we do so with the belief and confidence that our longevity has given us the collective experience and wisdom in how best to help young people become the best possible version of themselves. This wisdom has come from experienced educators from across Mexico and all over the world, who join our team and enrich our community and learning culture. More than half a century of this experience and tradition, combining Mexican education with the best of American and International programs, to provide a unique, successful and highly enjoyable learning experience for all our community…this is what we offer.

As General Director I am committed to our belief that in a school, children must come first. It is the combined efforts of our staff and parents that create the best possible environment for children to learn, to grow, and to become caring and productive members of our society. The world is becoming increasingly more complex, and perhaps even more than ever, our children need love, guidance and care to help them make the best choices and to grow with the confidence to succeed.

Our community is growing and diversifying, and I will continue to provide the support our students and families need. We will keep building our programs to stay ahead in the 21st century and to ensure the richness of the educational experience that we offer.

The JFK always has been, and will remain, a safe and vibrant school community, where children find that they really can achieve the extraordinary.

Adrian Leece
General Director
