Campus Tour
NJC sits up on a hill, across from the main train station, overlooking the town and its surrounding villages, Lac Neuchâtel, vineyards, and the Alps. Our campus comprises 3 buildings, the Foyer, the Pavillon, and the new Centre d’Etude. When you step into the Foyer, you immediately get a sense of NJC’s history. Built as a private home 100 years ago, here you can visit the Guidance office, the administrative offices, or the computer network administrator. In the Salon, you may hear music coming from the piano. The upper floors house the faculty room and two staff apartments. On the lower level, ski/snowboard storage is available, making for a quick get-away on Saturday morning to hit the slopes. As you leave the Foyer and step outside onto the terrace, a magnificent view of the lake and the Alps awaits.
What you find inside the Pavillon is similar to most schools, although on a smaller scale – student lockers, classrooms wired for computer use, science lab, print library, and a computer resource centre. The bookstore is also found in this building, as is the Mitchelson Desktop Publishing Centre, where NJC students produce their school newspapers and yearbook.
The Centre D’Etude, NJC’s newest addition, opened in the Winter of 2005. Here is where students are able to work independently at study carrels or in groups at seminar tables, using wireless internet technology and smart boards.
Beyond the NJC campus, students use the facilities of the town of Neuchâtel to engage in activities of interest to them. You are able to swim at the local swim complex, play sports in the gymnasium, ice rink, or at nearby sports fields, use the workout facilities at the University of Neuchâtel, study dance or music at local conservatories, or join any of the myriad of sports clubs and teams within the town of Neuchâtel. In essence the entire town is our campus... a little different from your own high school in terms of day-to-day life, but a lot more like university.
