What do JKD classes actually teach.

So, I'm interested in JKD. Even joined the JKD social group on this Forum (which I believe all JKD guys should join ). Anyway, my question is addressed to those who actually study JKD. What does one actually learn in a JKD class? Is it a mash of whatever martial arts the instructors have picked up? Or is it a more systemised style where all classes are quite similar?

I ask this because I'm thinking of taking up JKD and more importantly having my daughter take up JKD. I have the option of two schools. One teaches Wing Chun, Boxing and BJJ. The other teaches Wing Chun and Juijitsu.

Depends entirely upon the school. The JKD Bruce Lee taught was comprised of a LOT of the concepts and theories he learned from Wing Chun. Before someone says it, no it wasn't Wing Chun, there were other things added, but the base was indeed Wing Chun. If it was me I would check out both schools and see which suites you, or your daughter, better.
