Narrative:
With student on board on practice GPS approach we experienced a near miss of a private jet. After departure we headed east with the intention of conducting practice vectors for the GPS approach. Very shortly after departing we began to monitor unicom as we flew east and set up the approach. I had my student intercept the approach course just outside of the final approach fix and told him to make an announcement on the unicom that we were 6 miles out on the GPS xy approach. We then continued on; hearing no other traffic. We intercepted the glideslope and began down. At 3 miles out; I had the student make a second announcement of our position. At that time; the traffic alert sounded showing an aircraft less than 1 mile directly behind us and under us by 100 feet. I looked for the traffic on both sides as well as behind us and my student stopped descending on the glideslope. As I looked back at the GPS traffic it had gone to zero at which point a private jet passed us on the left side of the aircraft less than 50 feet under us with no lateral separation. We executed a go around and we watched the jet land. I confirmed the radio frequency and volume. I then attempted to call the aircraft; twice and received no reply. I then called the FBO who answered right away and did a radio check. The FBO then called the jet taxing to the ramp that answered only after several calls.
