A private school in the Mamak district of Ankara, working under the name Bilinc Koleji since 2013. The history runs longer: from 1996 the same people ran the NM Akademi and NM Dershaneleri brands, courses preparing students for the national examinations, and the school counts all of it together as thirty years. The school is a full one: kindergarten, primary, middle school and an Anadolu Lisesi high school, all at one address. Teaching is in Turkish, with twelve to sixteen hours of English a week taught by Turkish and native-speaking teachers, and German as a second language from grade 1. The school runs its own systems for assessment, homework tracking and supervision of study at home, and presents itself as a school grown out of exam-preparation experience. Alongside lessons it has a unit advising on study abroad.

Admissions Admission runs through the school's own scholarship examination, announced for Saturday 10 January at ten in the morning and held in the school building. The school states plainly whom it invites: students who think for themselves, are disciplined, hard-working and of high potential. The site names no other requirements or deadlines.
Stages and year groups Grades Anaokulu, İlkokul, Ortaokul, Anadolu Lisesi. Four stages at one address: kindergarten, primary school, middle school and an Anadolu Lisesi high school. The school lists them under the heading Okullarimiz, and they are stages of one institution rather than separate campuses: the address, email and telephone numbers are the same for all four.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
College Board · authorised programmeThe school is listed in the College Board Advanced Placement Course Ledger for the 2025-2026 school year. Its own site gives the AP programme a separate menu section and explains it in detail, down to the conditions of the AP International Diploma: five courses across four different areas with scores of three or above. The school does not publish a centre number. The registry records it as Private Bilinc High School; the school calls itself Bilinc Koleji and its high school an Anadolu Lisesi.

College BoardCollege Board, the AP programme
An American organisation that allows a school to put the letters AP on a pupil's transcript. The permission is granted course by course and tied to a particular teacher, it has to be renewed every year, and College Board reads the course syllabus before granting it.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run advanced AP courses - not the school as a whole, but one by one: by subject and by teacher. Governance, safeguarding and the primary years are not part of that check. Which subjects are actually approved is visible in the ledger. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Authorisation here runs a year at a time: the register lists the school for the 2025-2026 school year.

Advanced Placement: American advanced courses for the senior years. The exam for a course is set and marked by the College Board, not by the school. A good result is counted by American universities as a first-year course already passed, which saves a student time and money.
What this means for this school. A school does not get to call a course AP automatically: the College Board reads the course syllabus and approves it separately for every subject and every teacher, and the permission has to be renewed each year. Every approved school in the world is listed in the open AP Course Ledger, and this school's entry there stands as a line in the accreditation block above. How many courses a school is approved for, and in which subjects, the ledger does not show in its general listing. AP has no leaving certificate of its own: it sits on top of the school's main programme rather than being a separate system.
National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
Exam results The school names a first place in Turkey in the national LGS examination, and separately strong results across the school as a whole. Beyond that: high results in a British Council examination, three gold medals at an American mathematics olympiad, gold, silver and bronze at the world mathematics olympiad in Singapore, first places in the international Kangaroo science competition, and participation by high-school students in a Model United Nations conference.
Facilities
The school does not describe its premises on its website.
Teaching staff
The school publishes neither the number of its teachers nor their qualifications.
Safety and wellbeing from the school's official website
The school says nothing on its website about security, medical care or pupil support.
Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
