Jules Verne Campus

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.
