NEUCHÂTEL JUNIOR COLLEGE
APPLYING TO NJC
Neuchâtel Junior College selects students on the basis of their academic performance, character, interests, talents and potential. Successful applicants are those who seek to challenge and advance themselves through a transformational experience of intense personal and intellectual growth. The College favours applicants who respond positively to new challenges and who express sufficient maturity, international curiosity and personal responsibility to embrace this experience.
Early Application for 2019-20 Admission
Candidates who have researched NJC well in advance may choose to submit their application for admission up to 21 months in advance of departure. Applicants vying for this early admission status are eligible
to apply in June of 2018. To ensure the academic preparedness of early applicants for NJC’s program, a successful early application would result in an acceptance which is conditional upon the submission of a successful report card in the fall of 2018. Successful candidates benefit from the knowledge that they have secured a space at NJC in advance of the traditional application period. Please contact the Director of Admission with your questions. 2019-20 application materials can be found at www.njc.ch.
