Some of our students (together with Dr. Curtis) had a great experience with the AMIS (Association of Music in International Schools) Honor Choir in Luxembourg in early March.

Here are the results from the Berlin Finals which took place on Saturday, April 16 at the Olympic Horse Riding Stadium and Maifeld.

Congratulations and thank you to all participants for an excellent job!

We are very proud to announce that the best reader out of the whole district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf is a 6th grader from our school:

JFKS students Max Hentges and Leopold Aschenbrenner won the Berlin-wide „Jugend forscht“ competition with the best interdisciplinary project. They developped a system for the surveillance, warning and prediction of fine dust in Berlin. It measures the exposure in real-time through a comprehensive network of self-made sensors. Users can check the up-to-date results through a smartphone app; predictions and warnings can be sent through a notification service.

They will participate in the 51st „Jugend forscht“ German finals on May 26-29, 2016 in Paderborn.

Congratulations Max and Leopold!

During first and second hour the high school students worked on the challenges of the Känguru Math Competition; during 5th and 6th hour the elementary school students followed. The problems were in English and German.

As our trip nears its end, we look back to the great memories we have shared over the past two weeks.  After some great skiing over the weekend, the students enjoyed another ski free day on Monday during which they chose between swimming, shopping, or hiking.  Then it was back to the slopes for another two full days of skiing.   Once again, the students experienced a variety of weather and snow conditions, including heavy snowfall and two beautiful sunny days.
