Hang on, isn't JFK school an American school, not an international school? And one of two major international schools--what happened to Berlin International School, and Berlin Brandenburg International School?
--anonymous

JFK is one of the few true international schools in the world in the sense that it was supported by both the German and the U.S. Government. The school is accredited by national authorities in both countries. In contrast, most "international" schools are operating under the supervision of only one national educational authority and therefore issue an IB or such, which is an equivalent to certain national school diplomas. JFK actually issues a 100% German Abitur and a 100% U.S. High School Diploma.
(I also don't think Berlin Int'l and Berlin-BB Int'l are "major" schools, historically - they came along far later than JFK and are comparably small in size... at least until recently. That's partly due to high tuition fees, while JFK is a public school and tuition is free.) --90.10.130.123 20:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JFKSlogo.jpg

Image:JFKSlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
