International high school: for university and life, a two-winged preparation
In high school we prepare your child for both the YKS and the world. With the IB Diploma and Cambridge, an internationally recognised diploma, strong YKS preparation and career guidance, they walk towards their goals with confidence.
Equipped, a leader, a global citizen
An international high school is the most critical period opening onto university and life. At Gökkuşağı we offer a two-winged model that prepares our students for both national and international pathways: strong YKS preparation together with the internationally recognised IB Diploma and Cambridge programmes.
Alongside academic success, character and leadership are central. Through the Duke of Edinburgh Award, olympiad studies and social responsibility projects, our student becomes a confident individual who takes responsibility.
Our career guidance draws a roadmap according to the student’s interests and goals, helping them reach the right department and the right university through an informed choice.

A High School student's journey
Take a closer look at the programmes that shape your child's development during High School.
Not a diploma, but a future
Founded in 1997, Gökkuşağı Schools combines in its high school the strength of being an IB World School with strong university exam preparation. In this way our student keeps open two paths at once, to universities both at home and abroad.
When our student graduates, they step into life not just as an exam candidate, but as a confident, world-ready individual with developed leadership qualities.
High School questions answered
As an IB World School, Gökkuşağı offers international programmes together with strong YKS preparation. While pursuing the YKS goal within the national curriculum, our student can also earn an internationally recognised diploma; the two paths complement each other.
The IB Diploma Programme is delivered under authorisation at our Ankara Çankaya Alacaatlı and Istanbul Bahçelievler campuses. Cambridge programmes are delivered at all our campuses.
Our career guidance draws a personalised roadmap according to the student’s interests and goals. The right department and university choice is planned to cover both domestic and international options.
Through the Duke of Edinburgh Award, olympiad studies and social responsibility projects, our student gains lifelong skills such as leadership, resilience and responsibility.
