Kennedy International School
Kennedy International School, formerly Lyceum Kennedy International School, is an international school occupying two buildings in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It serves preschool through grade 12. It formerly had another campus in Ardsley, New York.
The school was named after President of the United States John F. Kennedy. Founded in 1964, Kennedy International School serves the needs of French and francophone families living in New York.
It has an English and French language Pre-Kindergarten-12 day school program, and it has a Japanese language preschool and Kindergarten program. It also had a Japanese Saturday school program.
Éliane Dumas, a teacher at the Lycée Français de New York, established the Lyceum Kennedy French American School in 1964. Dumas established the school for French students, and the school used the New York regent standards so the students may easily move on to American schools.
A Japan-born linguist and professor named Koji Sonoda acquired the school in 1986. At that time the school began advertising to students who originated from other regions. In 1987 the school had opened its Japanese kindergarten and elementary school program in the Ardsley campus. Originally the Ardsley campus was in rented space at Concord Road Elementary School. In 1990, it began renting space in Ardsley Middle School, partly to replace some space it could no longer use at Concord Road. In 1990 it was scheduled to begin holding after school preparatory classes at Ardsley High School. The Ardsley High program had preschool and kindergarten students, and it was done to prepare Japanese national students to enter schools in Japan.
A dedicated Ardsley campus opened in 1996. The Manhattan Japanese program, with a supplementary school and a preschool, opened in 1997, and the Japanese junior high supplementary school program began in 2010. It previously had a Japanese day elementary school, but that closed in 2004. In the late 1990s, the French program was only in Manhattan.
In 2015 Lyceum Kennedy had two programs: A French-English bilingual program at both campuses, and a program for Japanese people only at the Manhattan campus. The Japanese program was previously called the Lyceum Kennedy Japanese School (リセ・ケネディ日本人学校 Rise Kenedi Nihonjin Gakkō).
Kennedy International School is accredited by the French Ministry of Education. Kennedy International School students can transfer easily into any French school in France.
