Jules Verne Campus Munich comprises Kindergarten, Elementary School, Grammar School and Hort under a single educational concept. Bilingual education is central, with immersion in German and English; Elementary School has two learning guides, one German-speaking and one English-speaking, and lessons are often held in parallel in both languages. In Grammar School, subjects are taught immersively in English and sometimes in German, depending on the language of the learning guide. The campus emphasizes movement and sport within a designed environment, and offers Curiosology (two hours weekly) and the créAktiva program to support interdisciplinary, inquiry-based learning. The schools are aligned with the Bavarian curriculum and are state-approved; teachers are state-recognised; progress is tracked with detailed semester reports from the first year and grades from the second year.

From the first year, a detailed report on performance and development is given at the end of each semester. From the annual report of the second year, the reports are supplemented with school grades.

Individualized learning support is central; learning guides use differentiated methods to accommodate learners' strengths and weaknesses. Two hours of Curiosology weekly offer opportunities to explore interests beyond the curriculum, and the créAktiva program provides weekly courses to develop talents.

The Jules Verne Campus fosters a values-based learning community across Kindergarten, Grundschule and Gymnasium as well as Hort and Administration. The motto is 'Jules Verne Campus: The journey into your future begins here.' The annual theme provides a shared framework for projects, lessons and excursions across all sections. Year groups are mixed and learning is differentiated to support collaboration, mutual support and the development of self-confidence and respect for each learner's strengths. Bilingual immersion is central: German and English are used in daily teaching, with two Lernbegleiter per group (one German-speaking and one native English speaker) to support language development. Families and the wider community are welcomed, and weekly learner values such as courage, curiosity, fairness, empathy and teamwork are highlighted in portraits and through cooperative learning.

Diagnostics of possible learning weaknesses can be conducted at the initiative of Lernbegleiter in coordination with the Grundschule or Gymnasium leadership and the parents. This diagnostic measure is a supportive step and does not replace external therapy, which remains the responsibility of the parents. Individualized support is provided to address learners' needs. Year-group mixing and differentiated learning address learners with varying abilities. In the Grundschule, two learning companions per group provide language support, with one German-speaking and one native English-speaking staff member.

English is a core component of the Jules Verne Campus bilingual immersion model. In the Grundschule, two Lernbegleiter per group are assigned (one German-speaking and one native English-speaking) to provide language support within the immersion. Approximately half of the staff come from English-speaking countries, contributing to daily English use and immersion. English is taught as a subject alongside the Bavarian curriculum; the timetable lists English (Englisch) in the early grades. Children learn languages naturally through relationships; language is learned through daily interactions with emotionally connected staff, and they switch languages mid-sentence as needed.

Jules Verne Campus is designed as a second home where students feel cared for and valued. Meals are prepared on site; the cafeteria, called Oase, serves fresh bio meals and the program has earned the Green Table award for sustainable local options to support wellbeing. Social and emotional learning is fostered through a values-based approach, including weekly themes and Lernbegleiter portraits that highlight qualities such as courage, curiosity, fairness, empathy and teamwork. Engagement with the wider community and parents is encouraged as part of the learning culture, reinforcing social responsibility and a sense of belonging. Behavior that harms the mental or physical welfare of others is not tolerated; safeguarding is embedded in daily rules and staff oversight.

Access to the campus is restricted to drop-off and pick-up times, with a secure access system to maintain a protected learning environment. Parent access is limited to the reception area unless attending events or handling organizational matters. Not accepted are behaviors that damage the psychological or physical welfare of other children. The school is state-approved and under Bavarian government oversight, with qualified staff and background checks. Internal evaluations and parent surveys are conducted to inform ongoing safeguarding and educational development.

1. Attend information evenings to gain a comprehensive overview of Jules Verne Campus. Information evenings are offered for Kindergarten, Elementary School, and Grammar School, and there are Open House Days twice a year for personal discovery tours. You can register for an Open House or view the learning house tour presentation. Attending one information evening on-site or online in the year before enrollment is mandatory before participating in a trial day or Admission Day. The admission process begins with a non-binding registration of your child, which should be completed as early as possible due to high demand.

2. Registration
A. Kindergarten: Parents register online for a Kindergarten place using the non-binding online form. The campus will contact you with a proposed date and invite you and your child to get to know Jules Verne Campus, attend a brief tour, and visit the Kindergarten. Children starting at Jules Verne Kindergarten Preschool may participate in the Open Pearl Afternoon, a small-group activity session with a bilingual team to help assess suitability for the preschool. The Open Pearl Afternoon runs between November and March before the desired entry school year and lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours; parents receive detailed information about the preschool concept and can speak with the KiGa leadership team.
B. Elementary School: For 1st grade, register online via the non-binding digital application form. The school checks whether admission is possible and then offers the opportunity to get to know Jules Verne Campus in a personal setting. 1st graders participate in an Admission Day in the afternoon between November and March before enrollment, lasting about three hours. For 2nd–4th grade, children take part in a Visitation Day, and a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of 199 EUR is due before the Visitation Day.
C. Grammar School: After attending the information evenings, register online for Jules Verne Grammar School via the non-binding application form. Children who have attended Jules Verne Elementary School participate in an internal admissions process, with focus on personal strengths, assessment of learning and grammar school aptitude, and family wishes. A one-time, non-refundable registration fee of 199 EUR is required; if admitted to the Gymnasium, this fee is subtracted. Children from other schools are checked for admission suitability, and a Visitation Day may be required. The prerequisite for the Visitation Day is attending an information evening in the year prior to entry and paying 199 EUR.

3. You will hear from us about your child's admission within about one month. If an admission offer is possible, binding contract documents for a school booking are sent. A contract meeting occurs within 14 days (in person or online) to sign the contract; signed documents may be submitted as part of the process. If there is no response within 14 days, the place is released for another child. To provide planning security, the contract cannot be terminated before the start of the school year. Early applications are given priority.
