About
Jules Verne Campus
Jules Verne Campus (JVC) is a bilingual German-English house of learning in Munich, Germany that unites four educational institutions with a common, innovative pedagogical concept: a Kindergarten for children aged 3–6, a state-approved Elementary School until grade 4, a state-approved Grammar School for grades 5-13 culminating in the German Abitur qualification, and an after-school and holiday care program. About 400 children and teenagers learn and grow within our vibrant educational community. Located in the green district of Perlach in Munich, just at the foot of the Bavarian Alps, Jules Verne Campus serves a diverse community consisting of approximately 40% international families from over 30 countries, and 60% German families. The schools follow the demanding local Bavarian curriculum and have so-called replacement school status.
Founded in 2013, Jules Verne Campus was founded in Munich to “make waves” in education with a clear vision: to provide a sustainable, bilingual, and intercultural education that prepares young people for a largely unknown future. Beginning with two elementary groups and an after-school program, JVC has steadily grown into a campus with children and students—who we call learning partners—from Kindergarten through to graduation. The Grammar School, founded in 2015, prepares learning partners for the academically rigorous German Abitur, and we have now had three successful graduating groups. Our Jules Verne Kindergarten, established in 2019, provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning from age 3 through attachment-based education, sport with a focus on swimming, and bilingual immersion.
The educational philosophy of JVC is inspired by the spirit of Jules Verne, whose imagination and sense of adventure inspires our learning partners who we see as explorers on a hot air balloon journey. Our values such as respect, connections, fostering passions, and trusting in success are woven into everything we do. Learning experiences completely unique to JVC such as our subject called Curiosology, which encourages inquiry and curiosity, and créAktiva, a rotating elective program, provide opportunities to discover new talents and passions.
At the heart of the Jules Verne Campus approach is bilingual language acquisition through immersion and the importance of strong relationships. Native-speaking educators create authentic German and English learning environments, enabling children to develop strong communication skills and intercultural competence from an early age. Another key focus area is our focus on Sport and fitness, allowing learning partners to benefit from the cognitive boost for learning these provide. JVC also places special emphasis on individual needs and future skills such as creativity, resilience, digital literacy, entrepreneurship, collaboration, respect, and thinking beyond conventional boundaries needed to build the future.
Crucial service aspects at Jules Verne Campus include all-day schooling—not standard in Bavaria—and healthy, freshly prepared meals by our award-winning catering team. Our community cherishes our carefully designed learning house with Jules Verne-inspired spaces such as Core, Sea, Island, Tree, Air, and Moon and with learning group names like Shell and Pearl in Kindergarten, Ruby and Emerald in Elementary School, and Neptune to the Sun in Grammar School.
In this environment, children and learning partners feel connected and empowered to dare to do what they dream. Jules Verne Campus: The journey into your future starts here!
