Introduction

Jules Verne Campus Munich is a state-approved, non-profit gGmbH offering Kindergarten, Elementary School and Grammar School under a single educational concept. The Bavarian curriculum forms the foundation, with English instruction and immersion. In Elementary School, two guides, German- and English-speaking, support bilingual learning, often with parallel lessons. In Grammar School, subjects are taught in English immersion, with German used as appropriate. The campus emphasizes movement and sport as part of daily learning, guided by a Sports Coordinator, and a designed environment with rooms named after Jules Verne books. Facilities include a tree house library, an art studio, learning studios and the Oasis dining hall. Outdoor spaces feature a football field, climbing frame and bouldering wall. After-school Hort runs to 5:30 pm with options such as créAktiva. Distinctive programs include Curiosology and créAktiva, with Future Skills and coaching to foster independent learning and social-emotional development.

Fees
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.
- 7 to 8 hours a day: EUR 849.00 per month.
- 8 to 9 hours a day: EUR 922.00 per month.
- 9 to 10 hours a day: EUR 995.00 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.

- créAktiva plus or individual music lessons and other individually booked talent development offers: charged additionally when booked.

- 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.
Academics

Jules Verne Campus teaches Bespoke Curriculum, German Curriculum for students aged 3 to 18.

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.
Wellbeing

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.
Parent Experience

History
The Jules Verne Campus gGmbH operates as a non-profit company in Munich. The elementary school and the grammar school are built on the decades-tested SBW Haus des Lernens concept. SBW Haus des Lernens AG originated in 1980 and has developed the educational concept using insights from neurobiology, psychology and entrepreneurship, with a commitment to quality assurance and pedagogical innovation. To date, more than twelve thousand youths have benefited from SBW learning houses, and in the last five years, more than 130 schools across Europe have adopted and implemented SBW's approaches. The campus is located at Bayerwaldstraße 8, 81737 München.

Community
We are an open learning house and value parents contributing their professional or leisure expertise as expert knowledge where possible, and we welcome collaboration with other interested people and institutions that can contribute to our educational goals. There is a Parent Council in the kindergarten, primary school, grammar school and after‑school care. The Parent Council supports the school leadership in the respective matters, administers a funding pot and helps identify the right contact person for parents' concerns. Depending on learning content, we use external learning venues with the support of friends and partners to broaden the horizons of our learners, such as the Umweltgarten Neubiberg or the Maulwurfshausen adventure playground; visits to museums, a camel farm, and the European Central Bank are also part of our program.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
There is a Parent Council (Elternbeirat) in kindergarten, primary school, grammar school and Hort. It supports the school leadership in the respective matters, administers a funding pot and helps identify the right contact person for parents' concerns.
Facilities

Facilities Overview
The Jules Verne Campus is a modern, state-approved campus in Munich offering the Bavarian curriculum with additional English instruction and immersion across age groups. In the Elementary School, two learning guides per group (one German-speaking and one English-speaking) support bilingual learning, with mixed-age learning groups to encourage collaboration. The designed environment includes spaces named after Jules Verne books, such as Core, Sea, Island, Tree, Air and Moon, plus a tree house library, an art studio, and learning studios, and features the Oasis dining hall. Indoor spaces include learning studios and Air and Moon lounges, and the outdoor area has a football field, a climbing frame, and a bouldering wall; a Sports Coordinator guides movement into lessons. After-school Hort care runs from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm with course programs and extras such as créAktiva+ or learning studio+.

Sports Facilities
Sport and movement are integrated into daily learning. Spacious learning studios and sports areas include equipment for movement such as slackline and a trampoline, enabling a range of physical activities and motor development. The campus supports climbing and other active spaces, and a Sports Coordinator helps incorporate movement elements into the curriculum.

Academic Facilities
The learning model centers on autonomous learning in the learning studio, with two learning guides per group (German- and English-speaking). Bilingual education is conducted by subject immersion, with English instruction across selected subjects and French introduced as a second foreign language from grade 6. Jules Verne offers extra subjects such as Curiosology and créAktiva, and applies Future Skills and Coaching to develop independent learning, problem-solving and social-emotional competencies. The school follows the Bavarian curriculum, and the final Abitur at Jules Verne Grammar School is equivalent to the public Gymnasium Abitur.

Extra Curricular Facilities
Curiosology provides two hours of weekly curiosity-driven learning, fostering creativity and exploration. CréAktiva offers elective courses such as theater, dance, music and science, integrated into the timetable; and after-school Hort care continues with course programs and additional activities such as créAktiva+ or learning studio+.
Extra-Curricular Activities

Admissions

Admissions
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.
