Kennedy International School

🌿 A Step Forward for Sustainability at Kennedy International School! 🌍

We are proud to share that in June, our school advanced from Level 1 to Level 2 of the EFE3D (Établissement Français à l'Étranger en Démarche de Développement Durable) certification!

This achievement highlights the incredible commitment of our 20 Eco-Delegates, representing students 4th through 12th grade, under the leadership of Ms. Elodie Taunay, with the support of Ms. Sylvia AKA, our faculty and staff, students, and families.

Together, our community continues to take meaningful action through:
♻️ Environmental awareness campaigns
🌱 Waste reduction initiatives
🦋 Biodiversity projects
💧 Responsible resource management

As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 academic year, we are excited to continue strengthening our sustainability efforts and empowering our students to become environmentally responsible global citizens.

At Kennedy International School, sustainability is more than a goal; it is a commitment woven into our everyday actions.

The month of June has been filled with special moments, and we are excited to share some of our favorite highlights with you this summer!

We are kicking off our photo series by celebrating the Kennedy Senior Class of 2026, who leave behind a lasting legacy as the first class to complete the full International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme pathway at Kennedy International School.

Stay tuned—there are many more graduation moments to come, and be sure to follow us for more photos and celebrations!

Our 11th grade students recently showcased their Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Exhibition, a key milestone in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Through thoughtful presentations, students explored how knowledge is constructed, challenged assumptions, and connected philosophical concepts to real-world issues. 🌍💭

📚 Each student presented a curated display of three objects accompanied by written commentaries, demonstrating how TOK concepts appear in everyday life and broader global contexts. Their work engaged with thought-provoking questions such as:

❓ What counts as knowledge?
❓ On what grounds might we doubt a claim?
❓ How can we distinguish between knowledge, belief, and opinion?

👏 Congratulations to our students and teachers on an inspiring exhibition of curiosity, reflection, and inquiry.

On Friday, May 29th more than 200 members of our community gathered for the 8th Annual International Day to celebrate the stories, traditions, and culture that make Kennedy such a dynamic place for our students to learn and grow.

It was a joyful celebration of the connections that unite us and a reflection of what makes Kennedy feel like home for families from across the globe.

One Community. A World of Cultures.

🏗️✨ Kennedy’s 8th and 9th grade students proudly presented En Construction, their first 3D Design Exhibition, showcasing six months of creative exploration at the intersection of technology, architecture, and visual art.

Throughout the project, students challenged themselves to think like designers, architects, and innovators as they developed concepts, tested ideas, created 3D models, and explored emerging technologies, including AI. Along the way, they discovered that creativity is not only about inspiration, but also about problem-solving, persistence, and adaptability.

During the exhibition, students shared their work with parents, faculty, and peers, reflecting on the discoveries, challenges, and achievements that shaped their projects and design process.

👏 Congratulations to our talented students, and thank you to Technology Teacher Mr. Duboelle and Art Teacher Mr. Chudeau for leading this inspiring interdisciplinary initiative.
