Values orientation underpins teaching and care. Respect and responsibility are central. Two teachers support every class, one German-speaking and one English-speaking. English is taught through immersion, with visuals and gestures, using a one-language-per-teacher approach. The school runs Ganztagsbetreuung (all-day care) and Ferienbetreuung (holiday care), includes healthy snacks during recess and a warm noontime meal. Psychological counseling is available to support student wellbeing.
German and English are the two instructional languages. English is taught via immersion, described as a language bath, with scaffolded lessons and visuals; the same educator speaks only English with the children or only German. Literacy instruction is in German, while English is used for several subjects such as math, music, and physical education. The program is effectively dual immersion with a one person, one language principle, and students gradually use more English at their own pace. Integration of language and culture is supported by mother tongue instruction, currently French, Spanish, and Greek.
Psychological counseling is available. The school day runs from 8:30 AM to 4 PM and offers Ganztagsbetreuung (all-day care). Health and nutrition are prioritized, with healthy snacks during recess and a warm midday meal. The after‑school program emphasizes activities such as sports, theatre, music, and crafts.

In every classroom three adults—one German-speaking teacher, one English-speaking teacher, and a Ganztagsbetreuung paraprofessional—support learning, with English instruction delivered through immersion; English instruction becomes formal in Grade 3, and the same teacher speaks English or German throughout the lesson. JACG is part of Münchner Schulstiftung – Ernst von Borries. Facilities include an extended day from 8:30 to 16:00, with before-school care from 7:30 and after-school care until 18:30; a warm noonday meal and recess snacks. GTB offers a rotating program with sports, theatre, music, and creative projects. On-site mother-tongue instruction in languages such as French, Spanish and Greek supports language and culture.
