Mission
Neuchâtel Junior College creates a community of confident independent global citizens through a life-changing educational experience.
Vision
Be the school of choice for students seeking an extraordinary, immersive international education.
NJC Pillars
Knowledge
NJC’s enriched academic, social and global environment promotes personal and intellectual maturity, awareness, curiosity and a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of knowledge.
Confidence
NJC students are those who choose to take the personal and social risk of leaving all that they know behind to explore all that is new. They emerge as positive, secure, adaptable, decisive and self-aware young adults who embrace change and the future with confidence.
Independence
NJC students live and travel in new countries, cultures and among new languages, far away from home for an extended period of time. In successfully making choices on their own, they develop profound personal responsibility, drive, accountability and a heightened sense of independence.
Leadership
The transformative NJC experience empowers students to forever apply their knowledge, to have confidence in their unique abilities, and to be exceedingly independent so that they can take action to lead their own lives and others in making a positive difference in the world.
