Expedition statement ON CAMPUS
Through the cooperation between Elementary School, Grammar School, Hort & Kindergarten as well as Administration, a guiding expedition statement for Jules Verne Campus has emerged. It expresses our vision and pedagogical mission and guides us in our development moving forward:
Jules Verne Campus: The journey into your future starts here.
This motto replaces the mottos from the founding period like "Munich's new school" and "JVC - The place to be" and has been made available on our website, in the biannual Campus News newsletter, marketing materials as well as at information evenings for interested parents.
ANNUAL Theme
The annual theme is determined with the participation of the entire JVC team. Proposals are collected at the beginning of each school year and voted on. The aim of the annual theme is to create a common framework for Elementary and Grammar School, Hort & Kindergarten as well as the Administration and to give the learning partners of all ages a special pedagogical focus they can remember positively for a given school year.
Projects, lessons or excursions can refer to the annual theme. It is also reflected in the newsletter and the yearbook. The theme of the year should be meaningful for children and parents alike, visually recognisable on our huge Oasis mural wall and other art projects, and unifying for all on Campus.
All-day school
Jules Verne Campus should be a home away from home. A place to be yourself, a place you want to be. We are an all-day school that opens its doors at 8:00 am and closes at 5:30 pm after the last Hort child has been collected. The children wear slippers in the learning house and a school uniform, our our Campus Outfit. Here, we eat, laugh and live together! ... read more
Healthy food
Delicious, healthy food - that's our motto!
The dining hall at the Jules Verne Campus has a special name: Oasis. And not without reason, because lunch should really feel like a special break. The food prepared fresh on site and is organic, every day. There is a special nutritional concept that supports the learning process with its menu and expands the children's experience with healthy eating. The kitchen team with head chef Mrs. Anja Jüllich lives with heart and soul for our children. ... read more
Digital communication
Jules Verne Campus is digitally well equipped : We use school administration programs to organize daily life, communicate with parents via an App called SchulApp and use programs such as MS Teams and Seesaw to digitally support and structure the learning process. For example, parents have access via the SchulApp to all leaflets and information concerning the Learning House, they can send and receive messages to learning guides and the management team, view the timetable and substitution plan, book appointments for parent-teacher conferences and register their child as ill. With MS Teams, it's also possible have virtual appointments or to take part in parent presentations online. We even have an App to help JVC parents form carpools called CarpoolWorld. And our learning partners? They learn how to use an iPad from an early age and work with a laptop from grade 9 onwards - these are just two of the many elements that our media concept provides for. For an introduction to our communication tool, SchulApp, here is a brief video tutorial.
Bus transport
Jules Verne Campus, works with the transport company Skrabal from Munich Grünwald, operating reliably since 1981 specializing in school transport, to provide shuttle bus service. Here, there are fixed stopping points and departure times for the way to and from school. Booking the bus service also ensures transport during school and holiday program times. Please note that bus places cannot be guaranteed: a place can only be made after availability has been checked. ... read more
Campus outfit
Due to a demonstrably better sense of community and identity, our school children wear at least one item of clothing from our specially created Jules Verne Campus Collection, or Campus Outfit. This includes dresses, short and long-sleeved polo shirts and T-shirts, oxford shirts and blouses, and sports shirts and hoodies, all with our embroidered logo. Items and can be ordered via the online shop of our partner "Dress for School."
SCHOOL DOG
In learning groups in Elementary and Grammar School, there are school dogs specially trained to interact with children in school settings. The educational benefits of dogs in classrooms have been extensively researched and proven. At Jules Verne Campus, we want to take advantage of this in a clearly defined and controlled setting. More information on this is published on SchulApp at the beginning of each school year.
Friends & Parents
We are an open learning house and appreciate it greatly when parents share their professional expertise or personal passions with us as "experts." We're also happy to foster cooperations with other institutions whose offers can enhance our educational goals. We always plan cooperations carefully with the topics, learning contents, and goals. ... read more
Engagement
We are not alone in this world and not everyone is as well off as we are - appreciation for what we have and willingness to share some of it and make a contribution to make the world a little better is a natural part of the curriculum at the Jules Verne Campus. Whether it is Maths in grades 1 and 2 using a budget to buy notebooks and stationery for children in a refugee home, which our Jules Verne children then order themselves, or taking part in the annual charity run, Our Jules Verne children are full of ideas when it comes to helping others. ... read more
Testimonials
The most beautiful school time we could have ever imagined—for our daughter and for us. Now three years later, our daughter speaks English so well and throughout the years, she has not once said, "I don’t want to go to school today." Quite the contrary, she has always come home in a great mood and looked forward to the next day. The interaction between learning partners (even from other learning groups) and the learning guides is extremely supportive. ... read more
