Curriculum

The ibsm curriculum combines the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) with the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS curriculum for primary schools in all subjects and years. The arts, music, physical education and social learning also form part of the curriculum. In the bilingual primary school, classes 1 to 4 are taught by an English-speaking and a German-speaking teacher, following the 'one person – one language' principle. This enables natural bilingualism with two languages in a single environment; families may choose a focus language (English or German) with additional coaching in the chosen language. Assessment is based on performance-based methods; the PYP includes portfolios, conferences and ongoing assessments in place of traditional grades, and standardised tests are conducted at intervals. The school is state-approved since 2010 and an IB World School since 2017; there are four classes (1–4), normally up to 25 children per class, with all-day sessions from 9:00 to 16:00.

Application / registration fees

- A non-refundable registration fee of EUR 199.00 is charged for participation in an Admission Day or Visitation Day (applies to Kindergarten, Elementary and Grammar School admission steps where specified).

- A one-time, non-refundable admission fee is charged upon offer of a place. For the Kindergarten the admission fee is EUR 630.00. For Elementary School and Grammar School the admission fee equals one month's individual tuition for positive annual incomes under EUR 50,000, and 2.5 times the monthly tuition for positive annual incomes over EUR 50,000 (tuition for these schools is income‑dependent).

Tuition and core fees (by school type / year groups)

- Kindergarten (monthly, by booking category):
- 4 to 5 hours a day: EUR 630.00 per month.
- 5 to 6 hours a day: EUR 703.00 per month.
- 6 to 7 hours a day: EUR 776.00 per month.

- An annual development contribution of EUR 189.00 applies in addition to the monthly Kindergarten fee.
(These Kindergarten fees are already reduced by the City of Munich subsidy of EUR 100.00 per month where applicable.)

- Elementary School and Grammar School (tuition basis and year-group detail):
- Tuition for Elementary School and Grammar School is calculated on an income‑dependent basis (monthly amount determined from the positive annual income of the child's legal guardians); the school provides a tuition calculator for the correct bracket. Monthly tuition amounts are averaged over 12 months (see billing schedule). Specific fixed monthly tuition tables per year group are not published as flat rates; amounts are individual and determined through the school's income-based calculation.

Additional recurring services and per-child extras

- Catering (lunch + snacks): EUR 170.00 per month.

- Hort (after-school care) for school children (pedagogical care until 17:30, 5 days a week):
- Elementary School Hort: EUR 229.00 per month plus an annual development fee of EUR 249.00.
- Grammar School Hort: EUR 203.00 per month plus an annual development fee of EUR 249.00.
- Hort fees include holiday‑time care as stated (with specified exceptions).

- Shuttlebus (monthly, distance-based): ranges from EUR 308.80 to EUR 410.80 per month depending on distance category.

- Books, digital media and class excursions are charged separately and are not included in the tuition.

- Sibling discount: 5% discount on school and Kindergarten fees for each additional sibling enrolled at the Campus.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- All fees based on a mixed calculation and must be paid in full for the period booked; monthly contributions are averaged over 12 months for the school year (August 1 to July 31) and therefore invoiced/collected across 12 months, including vacation periods.

- Before the first payment deadline the school issues an annual cost statement of all regular services for the relevant school year. The first invoice typically comprises the tuition, the admission fee and the school development fee as set out in the contract. Additional services booked via the service contract (e.g., food package, shuttle bus, Hort) are invoiced separately; additional fee-based services are invoiced quarterly.

- The monthly tuition amount for Elementary/Grammar is determined from annual income documentation (income tax assessment for two years prior). A provisional tuition may be charged if required documentation is not yet available; parents must submit proof of income by the stated deadlines or the highest income bracket may be applied for recalculation.

Boarding

- Boarding is not provided at Jules Verne Campus. The Campus comprises Kindergarten, Elementary School (Grundschule), Grammar School (Gymnasium) and Hort (after‑school care); no boarding program or boarding fees apply.

Other one-off or occasional fees and charges

- Registration/Admission: registration (EUR 199.00, non-refundable) and admission fee (non-refundable; Kindergarten EUR 630.00 or calculated admission fee in Elementary/Grammar as noted above).

- Holiday Club / missed-day charge in Hort: EUR 38.00 per missed holiday-club day when a child is registered but does not attend (unless officially registered sick for that day).

- Late collection fees (Hort / Kindergarten): first instance EUR 35.00 for every hour begun; second instance EUR 70.00 per hour begun; third instance EUR 150.00 per hour begun; repeated late pickups may be grounds for contract cancellation.

Refunds, contract termination and notice

- Registration fees and the admission fee are described as non‑refundable (admission fee covers administrative costs).

- Ordinary termination: termination of school and service contracts requires a notice period of 12 weeks to the contract cut‑off dates (January 31 and July 31). If notice is received after the stated deadline, school and service fees must be paid until July 31 of the school year even if the child leaves earlier. If a contract is booked or a child joins by October 15 of a school year the contract is deemed concluded on August 1 of that school year; fees are waived for the period between the start of the school year and the child's actual entry.

Fee payment methods

- The publicly available admissions and parent‑information documents set out invoicing timing and contractual terms but do not list explicit payment methods (for example: direct debit, SEPA, bank transfer, credit card). Billing is handled via formal annual cost statements and invoices as described above; the school's accounting contacts handle payments per the contract. For payment‑method details, parents complete contract paperwork and receive the invoice that specifies payment instructions.

Final practical points

- Monthly fee figures for Kindergarten, Hort, catering and shuttle bus are published as fixed monthly amounts; Elementary School and Grammar School tuition is income‑based and therefore set individually by the school's tuition calculator and documentation rules. A sibling discount of 5% applies. The first invoice includes admission and school development fees; additional services are invoiced separately, usually quarterly.

Note on availability of fixed year‑group tuition tables

- The school publishes fixed monthly prices for Kindergarten and for specific services (Hort, catering, shuttle), and describes how Elementary School and Grammar School tuition is determined (income‑dependent, calculated monthly and averaged over 12 months). No fixed per‑year flat tuition table for each Elementary/Gymnasium year group is published in the public admissions and parent brochure documents; tuition for those schools must be calculated through the school's income‑based process. This summary reflects the publicly available fee information for the 2025–2026 school year and the billing rules described in the school's admissions and parent brochure materials.

Boarding Arrangements

The school has Hort for after-school and holiday care.

Food Options

Freshly prepared meals are provided as part of a balanced health concept, served in the Oasis cafeteria.

House System

A learning house concept underpins campus life, with learning houses and spaces such as the Tree House Library and Air and Moon Lounges; floors are named Core, Sea, Island, Tree, Air and Moon. In Elementary School, there are two learning guides (one German-speaking and one English-speaking), and Grammar School teaches subjects immersionarily in English or German depending on the language of instruction.

Governance and Ownership

Jules Verne Campus gemeinnützige GmbH operates the campus; all institutions are state- or municipal-approved and funded.

Curriculum

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.

Exam Results

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.

Gifted and Talented

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.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

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.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

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 as an Additional Language (EAL)

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.

Mental Wellbeing

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.

Safeguarding

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.

Admissions

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.

Overview of the fee model

Phorms Campus Munich charges income-related tuition that is calculated separately for each educational level (crèche / kindergarten, primary school, secondary / Gymnasium). Tuition is expressed as a monthly contribution and the calculation uses gross annual income from the year before last as the basis for the contribution.

Application and one‑off admission fees

- A one‑off administrative / enrolment fee is charged at the time the school contract is signed. For the Phorms fee model used at other Phorms campuses this administrative fee is commonly set at 2.5 times the applicable monthly tuition contribution (a reduced amount may apply for reduced-fee categories).

Tuition fees by school level and how they are expressed

- Fee structure by level: fees are handled separately for crèche/kindergarten, primary (Grundschule) and secondary (Gymnasium). Each level has its own contribution scale tied to household gross income. The school issues a personalised monthly contribution for the child's specific year group and level.

- How to read amounts: tuition is expressed as a monthly contribution. The annual tuition equals the monthly amount multiplied across the school year (the school treats the annual tuition as a contribution spread into monthly instalments). To obtain a per‑term amount, multiply the monthly contribution by the number of months covered by that term.

- Income basis and timing: the basis for calculating the contribution is the household's positive gross annual income from the year before last (for the 2025/26 school year that means 2023 income is used). This same method is applied across the different school levels.

- Sibling discount: a sibling discount is offered; Phorms Munich's published information notes a family discount on monthly fees (a commonly stated figure for the campus is a 15% sibling discount applied to the monthly contribution).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing rhythm: tuition is treated as an annual contribution divided into monthly instalments (twelve monthly payments for the school year), with the first instalment due at the beginning of the school year. The one‑off administrative/enrolment fee is due at contract signing.

- Mid‑year starts: where children start partway through a school year, tuition is handled on a monthly basis so the payable tuition for that year reflects the months attended (monthly contribution logic applies).

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not part of Phorms Campus Munich's offer; the campus comprises crèche, kindergarten, primary and secondary day provision and does not operate a boarding facility. No boarding fees apply.

Other compulsory or regular additional costs

- Meals and catering: lunch and catering costs are charged in addition to the monthly tuition where applicable (arrangements and registration for catering are handled separately).

- Material / curricular contributions: an annual material contribution or similar charges are applied in some levels (for example in crèche, kindergarten and Gymnasium) to cover teaching materials, exam registration or subject certificate costs.

- Exam and qualification costs: charges for external registration (for example IB registration or subject exam fees) and other assessment costs may be invoiced in addition to tuition.

- Trips, clubs and extracurriculars: costs for excursions, class trips, optional after‑school clubs and some extracurricular offerings are charged separately. There are published club and activity programmes with their own participation fees.

- School clothing / uniform: costs for mandatory or recommended school clothing / starter sets and associated one‑time purchases may be charged; these are additional to tuition and material contributions.

Refunds and cancellations

- Administrative/enrolment fee: the administrative fee is payable with contract signing; under the Phorms fee model this fee is collected at signing and treated as an up‑front contractual charge. Policies about refundability of that fee and of tuition on withdrawal are governed by the school's contractual terms; tuition is structured as an annual contribution in twelve monthly instalments. Expect the administrative fee to be dealt with under the contract terms.

Fee payment options

- Invoicing and payment method: tuition and ancillary charges are invoiced and handled via the school's finance procedures; for Phorms campuses the common operating practice is to collect tuition by regular bank‑based payment methods (bank transfer or SEPA direct debit) and to issue invoices for the scheduled instalments. Acceptance of card payments or other methods may vary by campus or for specific one‑off charges. Parents make arrangements with the school's finance office for the chosen payment method.

Key practical points you will need when preparing a precise fee entry

- The campus issues a personalised monthly contribution per child (amount depends on household gross income and the child's school level). Multiply that monthly contribution to create annual and term amounts for database display (annual = 12 x monthly; term = monthly x months in the term). The campus provides a contribution calculator and a defined income reference year to determine which income band applies.

- Expect the one‑off administrative/enrolment fee (commonly 2.5 x one month's contribution under the group fee model) to appear on the first invoice; additional recurring items such as catering, materials, exam fees and club fees are invoiced separately.

If you need these items presented in a specific currency format or as separate per‑level example entries, the campus provides the exact monthly contribution for each family and year group using the stated income basis and contribution calculator.

Uniform Requirement

The school has a uniform. Tops or dresses and sportswear are compulsory; other garments may be chosen individually. The uniform can be ordered online.

Food Options

Lunch is provided by Organic Garden, a local organic caterer, with fresh meals prepared daily for Phorms Munich. Vegetarian options are available.
