Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
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.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
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.

Mental Wellbeing
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.
Parent Experience

History
The Jan-Amos-Comenius-Grundschule (JACG) is a four-year primary school officially recognized by the Bavarian state. It was founded in 2009 to provide a German-English bilingual education for a diverse community of learners. The Bavarian curriculum is followed with a few personal additions, including a dedicated subject called Europa. Three adults support each class: a German-speaking teacher, an English-speaking teacher, and a pedagogical assistant from Ganztagsbetreuung. The school is located in München-Pasing and is part of Münchner Schulstiftung – Ernst von Borries.

Community
The school offers a German-English bilingual program with a European orientation, with two teachers per class—one German-speaking and one English-speaking—and Ganztagsbetreuung (GTB) staff accompanying the children throughout the day. Lunch is provided by IL CIELO Bio Catering Service, and the school participates in partnerships such as the Africa Project, Roberta—Learning with Robots, and collaboration with the University of Eichstätt for English didactics. The school hosts a calendar of celebrations and cultural events, including Schulanfangsfeier, JACtoberfest, Nikolaus, Adventsfeier, Fasching, Kleine Konzerte, and Sommerfest.
Facilities

Facilities Overview
The school runs an extended day from 8:30 to 16:00 and offers before-school care from 7:30 and after-school care until 6:30 PM; Fridays are shorter. A warm noonday meal is provided, and snacks are offered during recess. The Ganztagsbetreuung provides a rotating program with sports, theatre, music, and creative activities as part of daily school life.

Sports Facilities
Physical education takes place at Oselschule or at the Obermenzinger Gymnasium; from the second grade there are three PE lessons, with one session held in the Grundschule Bewegungsraum. During the lunch break, children visit nearby playgrounds in all weather, and the Bolzplatz in the immediate neighborhood is regularly used.

Academic Facilities
The school uses two languages of instruction—German and English—with English taught through immersion. The same teacher speaks only English to the children or exclusively German. The Bavarian curriculum is followed, with an integrated core program in grades 1–2 and subject-based instruction in grades 3–4, plus a weekly Europe-focused topic. Integration of language and culture is supported by on-site mother-tongue instruction in languages such as French, Spanish, and Greek.

Extra Curricular Facilities
The GTB program offers daily after-school activities including sports, theatre, music, and creative projects. In addition, families can arrange private instrumental and language lessons on-site with external instructors (e.g., guitar, piano, violin, recorder) and languages such as French, Spanish, and Greek.
Extra-Curricular Activities

Academic & Intellectual
The school provides a German-English bilingual education and follows the Bavarian curriculum with additions, including a special subject called Europa. Each class is attended by three trained adults—a German-speaking teacher, an English-speaking teacher, and a pedagogical staff member from Ganztagsbetreuung (GTB). English instruction becomes formal in the third grade. The bilingual setup supports language development throughout the primary years.

Arts & Creative
Choir and theatre are offered as part of the fourth-grade program, with students participating in these arts classes for half a school year. Fourth graders can practice and qualify for a bicycle license with the Munich Police. After May, the class may create a theatre piece with a professional actor and perform it for the school and parents. Mini-concerts are held twice a year, where students showcase playing instruments such as flute, guitar, and piano.

Cultural & Language
The school offers a German-English bilingual program, with English instruction delivered by an English native-speaking teacher in every class. English language instruction becomes formal in the third grade. After-school GTB includes foreign and second language lessons as part of its offerings.

Social & Hobbies
First graders are called the Rabbits, second graders the Wolves, third graders the Ants, and fourth graders the Penguins, reflecting a connected school community. Older students mentor younger peers as ‘paten,' planning parties and outings together and sharing a lunch break. The daily learning environment emphasizes social interaction, listening, collaboration, and conflict resolution among students.

Leadership & Professional
Paten arrangements place older students in leadership roles as mentors to younger peers; they plan activities, host outings, and help organize class life. Fourth-grade students also lead by example during shared events and support first-graders throughout the year. These opportunities foster leadership, planning, teamwork, and peer-support skills among students.

Lifestyle & Wellbeing
Ganztagsbetreuung (GTB) provides before- and after-school care, with care from 7:30 to 8:30 before school and 16:00 to 18:30 after school, including snacks and a range of activities. After the instructional day, GTB offers open activities, free play, instrument lessons, and foreign language lessons. Ferienbetreuung (holiday care) runs during school breaks with field trips and a varied program; sports, cooking and baking, and creative offerings are included in GTB programming.
Languages

Language Provision
Two languages of instruction are German and English. English is taught through immersion; content is presented in English with a 'one person, one language' principle. Reading and writing literacy is taught in German first, and children gradually increase their use of English. Integration of language and culture groups offers mother-tongue lessons and country studies; currently French, Spanish, and Greek are available.

Bilingual Teaching
German and English are the two languages used in instruction. Bilingual learning and CLIL is central at Jan-Amos-Comenius-Grundschule. The program is supported by the University of Eichstätt's Department of English Didactics, led by Prof. Dr. Heiner Bf6ttger, with advisory input and ongoing evaluations. Evaluations of the bilingual approach show that the two-language teaching model works effectively at JACG.

Immersion Programs
English is delivered via an immersion method, treated as a language bath. In each class, one teacher speaks only English and the other only German. Lessons are scaffolded with visuals, gestures, and movement to gradually increase active English use, while initial literacy is taught in German. The immersion approach supports bilingual development across subjects.
