In April 2023, we conducted our regular IQES parents’ surveys intended to help us improve your child’s education and evaluate whether we’re reaching our goals for educational excellence and innovation at the Jules Verne Elementary and Grammar Schools. The school surveys are conducted every two years in alternation with parent questionnaires on our Hort and Kindergarten.
We would like to extend our warm thanks to those families who participated! This year, we are happy to report a high ...

In April 2023 during our very special Spark Week, we hosted Christoph Bornhauser (Herr Bo), co-founder of our Swiss school family, SBW Haus des Lernens, for electrifying public lectures at Jules Verne Campus:
Talent Development in Puberty

We are pleased that as things loosen up again after a forced break due to Corona, live exchanges and interactions with our Swiss school family, SBW Haus des Lernens, are possible again, as are live lectures for parents. The common “DNA” within the SBW school family in terms of pedagogy is always visible with our educational philosophy and Fraktal. To familiarize yourself with our SBW approach or simply refresh your memory if you’re already familiar with it, the Future Skills Booklet and SB...

Our third floor is named after Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. Once we completed the mural on up there saying Start your future here, removed the partition and kitchen, and created a giant chalkboard wall, our brand-new Moon Lounge started taking shape. During Project Week last July, four learning partners from Grammar School made 3D models of the space, chose furniture within a budget, and presented their proposals to the Head of Learning House. Their ideas, including some upcycling, ...

To generate some school spirit in connection to our annual theme Imagination flows everywhere! and just have a little fun, we’ve continued theme days, or Fun Fridays, once a month for the 2022/2023 school year. The dates are listed under “Infos” and as calendar entries on SchulApp. This year, we included some favorites from last year as well as new ideas connected to our annual theme. On these special days, wearing Campus Dress is not required and can be replaced by clothing related to the...

If I could have only gone back to those days when my mama was combing my hair, dressing me up and holding my hand while walking me to school. I imagine that my only responsibility was to not tell Marko that Iva was in love with him and that I helped her write the love letter in his pocket! I imagine I could go back and sit on the stairs in front of our school entrance and watch the boys playing football. I imagine walking back home with my schoolmates carrying a heavy school rucksack on my back....

About a decade ago as a young scientist and linguist, I published several neuropsychological studies on second language learning while at the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. I became fascinated by the advantages that children have when they are bilingual from birth or a very young age. Seeing my own young boys begin speaking in a multilingual environment made it clear to me that schools were missing something crucial by introducing lan...

Hier am Jules Verne Campus sind wir fest davon überzeugt: In jedem Menschen, ob groß oder klein, ruht kreatives Talent. Wie ein winziges Samenkörnchen, das tief in der Erde vergraben ist und von warmen Sonnenstrahlen und glitzernden Regentropfen wachgekitzelt werden möchte, verstecken sich auch in uns Menschen farbenfrohe Ideen, die nur darauf warten, in Verbindung mit unseren persönlichen Talenten musikalisch, künstlerisch, verbal oder schriftlich die Welt in ihren Bann zu ziehen.

Our Kindergarten children can now sail our own JVC Black Pearl in Kindergarten... all we need is Captain Jack! Lovingly made by our facility professionals, Jörg Massalski and Gunter Merkl, as well as the Becker family, the impressive ship to play on and explore consists of over 70% upcycled materials. For example, the soft inner lining is from our previous Gumpy room, the wooden planks are from a balcony that’s over 10 years old, and the mast is from a real boat! The wooden materials were san...
