Teaching Approach

Updated 8mo ago

Kennedy International School emphasizes a rigorous, immersive bilingual education that blends elements of the French (and also Japanese, where applicable) and American education systems, aligned to their respective national standards. They aim to inspire and motivate students while addressing social-emotional needs and individual differences, cultivating critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, and intercultural respect. Across grade levels, instruction is structured to build strong academic and language foundations while preparing students to thrive as empathetic, integrity-driven global citizens.

Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Lyceum Kennedy (Kennedy International School) uses rolling admissions: families apply online through the school’s Admissions & Enrollment Portal, then complete the portal checklist by uploading required supporting documents. After the application and documents are complete, the admissions office schedules a family interview and any additional assessments, and a final decision is communicated by email after those steps. Admissions is selective and considers prior school performance (academics/discipline), teacher recommendations, and the family’s commitment to bilingual education; preschool eligibility uses a December 31 age cut-off (and French/English are not required for preschool), while older applicants have increasing language expectations and upper school applicants must also submit a letter of intent, the past two years’ report cards, and two teacher recommendations. The website does not publish fixed admissions deadlines beyond noting rolling admissions, but it does highlight the December 31 age cut-off for preschool entry. The school’s public admissions pages do not describe a waitlist process or any priority/precedence categories (e.g., siblings, alumni, faculty), so families would need to confirm those details directly with admissions.
