Istanbul International School

Istanbul International School is committed to a child-centred curriculum that addresses the needs of our students in a changing world and facilitates their transfer to international or national schools.

Our secular curriculum strives to incorporate the experiences, culture, and perspectives of our students and their families and considers the all-round development of the individual by encouraging curiosity, reflection, and questioning, with an emphasis on sharing knowledge rather than competition.

We foster an understanding of human values such as love, respect, trust, self-esteem, and responsibility. Staff, students, and parents are expected to meet each other with respect, acceptance, and friendship.

We aim for academic excellence with the understanding that all children have different abilities, skills, and interests.

We consider students of all colors, nationalities, and different religions to be an asset in our school and educational concept.

We support bilingualism and biculturalism. This is reflected in our approach to curriculum choice and teacher recruitment.
