The John F. Kennedy School serves families from different Berlin districts, depending on age and area they use different means of transportation to get to school:
Walking or biking:
Many of our students walk or ride their bicycles to school. JFKS provides a large number of bicycle racks on the school campus.
BVG (Berlin Public Transportation):
Berlin public transportation including bus, subway (U-Bahn) and city train (S-Bahn) is safe and reliable. Many students take it by themselves before and after school. The nearest train station is S-Bahnhof Zehlendorf (Line S1), the nearest bus stops are Schönower Park (Bus 285) and Schweizerhofpark (Buses 285 and X10); both stops are located directly in front of the school on both sides of the ramp.
