Neuchâtel Junior College is a Swiss non-profit foundation of the Ville de Neuchâtel. As such, the College is governed by a Swiss Board of Governors (Le Conseil de Fondation) that works in close collaboration with a Canadian Advisory Committee
(Le Comité Canadien).
The members of the Conseil are appointed by the Neuchâtel City Council and come largely from the fields of education and business.
The Comité Canadien members are alumni of NJC and/or parents of recent students. Together, they are responsible for the selection of the Head of School, the financial operation of the College, and the strategic direction of NJC.
All governance members act on a volunteer basis and put in countless hours to ensure that NJC remains a school among the best and most unique in the world.

I am honoured to lead this group of dedicated and passionate volunteers who, as a subcommittee of our school’s governing board, the Conseil de Fondation, advise and support the Conseil and the Head of School on all aspects of the school’s future, with particular emphasis on admissions, advancement and the engagement of the NJC community.
Volunteerism is the cornerstone of our school’s governance and I am proud of the commitment and contributions of current and past Committee members in helping to shape our world-class, life-changing school.
Most importantly, none of this would be possible without you, our equally passionate NJC community. Your consistent support of admissions, fundraising initiatives and special events has been critical to our school’s success and sustainability.
We are extremely grateful for your engagement and trust, and I look forward to seeing everyone at our 60th anniversary celebration in 2016!
