In Brief
A well-run bilingual primary in Pasing with genuine dual-immersion from day one - a practical option for families in western Munich who want their child to grow up with both languages and do not need the IB PYP label. Ends at age 10, so secondary planning is non-negotiable.
JACG is a four-year state-recognised bilingual primary in Pasing, about 100 metres from the S-Bahn station, with S3, S4, S5, S6 and S8 lines all stopping nearby - one of the most accessible primary schools in Munich for families across the western half of the city. Founded in 2009 as part of the Munichner Schulstiftung, it follows the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS with three adults in every class: a German-speaking teacher, an English-speaking teacher, and a Ganztagsbetreuung paraprofessional. English is taught through full immersion - the same teacher speaks only their language throughout the lesson, not bilingual switching.
The school runs a 'Europa' subject from Grade 1, starting with children mapping their own family origins and broadening outward. Mother-tongue support is available in French, Spanish and Greek for families with those backgrounds. Full-day care runs from 07:30 to 18:30, with a hot lunch and holiday programmes available; after-school care is charged by booked hours beyond the core day. The school was recognised as a MINT-freundliche Schule in 2018 (Germany's STEM-friendly accreditation) and came fourth in the Munich School Prize 2017. Scholarships are available on income grounds.
The school stops at the end of Grade 4, when children are around 10 years old. For most families this means transitioning to the German Gymnasium system - BIS, Obermenzinger, Nymphenburger, or IBSM are options depending on whether you want to continue in English, German, or a blend. Monthly fees of around EUR 780 plus EUR 120 for catering (approximately EUR 10,800 annually) sit well below Munich's IB international schools; there is no published application fee, but demand is high and waitlists apply to most year groups.
What parents value
- –Three adults per class - a German teacher, an English teacher and a paraprofessional - providing a level of staffing rarely found in Munich primary schools at this fee level.
- –Full-day care from 07:30 to 18:30; hot lunch provided; holiday care available. Excellent transport links from Pasing S-Bahn, reachable from across western Munich.
- –Income-based scholarships available; MINT-accredited school; mother-tongue support in French, Spanish and Greek alongside the core German-English programme.
Points of consideration
- –School ends at age 10 (Grade 4). Secondary school planning must begin before you enrol - have a clear transition route in mind from the start.
- –Fees are income-based for some elements and waitlists are common; contact the school early, especially if you need a place from Grade 1.
