JPS German Back to Back Program
What is GAPP / "Back to Back"?
GAPP = German American Partnership Program. GAPP is apart of the Goethe Institute.
JPS has had a German exchange program for 40+ years!
Travel is open to current 8th-12th grade students.
We are partnered with the Lothar Meyer Gymnasium in Varel, Germany.
In June, we will go to Germany for a little over 2 weeks. That following September, the Germans will come to Jackson for around 2 weeks. (Back to Back)
We will travel to Germany every other year! (2025, 2027, 2029, etc.)
Important Dates
October 25th: GAPP Application, Scholarship Application, Student Contract Packet (needs to be notarized), Medical Forms, and the Application Fee of $250 need to be submitted to either Frau Woodring (Parkside) or Herr Ernst (JHS)
