Neuchâtel Junior College (or NJC) is a one-year, pre-university programme located in the French-speaking town of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The majority of the students are Canadian. Neuchatel junior College will celebrate its 50th anniversary with its graduating class of 2006.

The school is taught in English, but each student is required to take at least one French course. In addition to this, all students live with a local family in what is called a pension. This allows the students to interact in French and truly appreciate Swiss culture.

The school also offers a number of school trips to such locations as Greece and Italy, Florence and Sienna, Paris, and Munich, as well as encouraging students to travel on their own. The central location of Switzerland allows for a wide range of destinations and through travel students learn to be independent while at the same time learning about other cultures.

Another school along the same lines as Neuchâtel Junior College is Canadian College Italy.
