What to look for in an international school in Istanbul
Choosing a school in Istanbul is about more than distance. Most families start with the campuses closest to home or work, then look at whether every school level continues on the same campus, at class sizes and at the number of foreign language hours. Moving from kindergarten to high school under one roof means friendships and academic follow-up are never interrupted.
The second question is the academic programme. If an international diploma is the goal, what matters is that the school is an authorised IB World School, that Cambridge examinations can be taken on campus, and that preparation for the national LGS and YKS exams is built into the timetable. All three run together at each of our four Istanbul campuses; the difference lies in capacity and facilities.
The third is campus life. Laboratories, sports areas, clubs and counselling support shape the eight hours a child spends at school each day. The surest way to judge them is to visit during lesson hours, meet the teachers and see the classrooms at work.

Choosing an international school in Istanbul
We have four campuses in Istanbul: Ataşehir, Bahçelievler, Bahçeşehir and Beylikdüzü. All four follow the same educational programme to the same international standard; they differ in capacity, school levels and facilities.
Tuition depends on the campus, the school level and additional services such as transport and catering. Our advisors share current figures and payment options campus by campus. You can request information from our tuition and enrolment page.
Our campuses run the IB Diploma and IB Primary Years (PYP) programmes alongside Cambridge education. Dual foreign language education starts in kindergarten, and preparation for the national LGS and YKS exams is part of the academic programme at secondary level.
