About

Governance

All members of the governing council act on a volunteer basis, and put in countless hours to ensure that NJC remains remains a school among the best, and most unique, in the world.
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’s programs.
 
 

Strategic Plan 2018-2022: Extraordinary Future

  • * *
    We are pleased to share Neuchâtel Junior College’s Strategic Plan 2018-2022: Extraordinary Future. Within these pages, you will find five exciting strategic priorities that we have set for our extraordinary school. It is no coincidence that the presentation of our plan begins with “Extraordinary Community,” for NJC’s ongoing success will be that much greater with your support. As you read each priority, be assured that we are committed to advancing all five areas concurrently, since each is related and will enhance the progress of the others.

    The school is in a strong position. We have a supportive community and NJC’s unique program is much sought after. We attract the top students who, after their life-altering time at NJC, go on to thrive in the best university programs at home and abroad; and, with their independent spirits and new global perspectives, they pursue new adventures, lead innovative careers, and pursue their dreams with courage and confidence. Upon this solid foundation, and with our new strategic plan as the compass, our talented incoming Head of School, Andrew J. Keleher, is well equipped to lead.

    Now it is time to put the plan into action. We invite you to join us on this five-year journey in supporting the school that we all adore. Your feedback is welcome and your participation is encouraged. Over the life of Strategic Plan 2018-2022: Extraordinary Future, we will communicate how you can become involved in specific initiatives to help us meet our objectives for NJC, and we’ll share our progress with everyone along the way.
