The Kemerburgaz campus is one of the sites of Eyüboğlu Educational Institutions, begun on 6 March 1970 at the initiative of Dr Rüstem Eyüboğlu. Three separately named institutions stand on this site: the Kemerburgaz kindergarten, primary school and middle school. The school describes itself as a place where strong academic skills grow together with social, emotional and cultural development, and it keeps close contact with parents so that each child's progress is followed.

Admissions The first step is the pre-registration application form, after which the school itself sets out the admission conditions for the family. For kindergarten, the reception class and grades 1 to 5, children are admitted through recognition interviews and assessment; for grades 6 and 7 of the middle school, admission is through the level determination exam the school calls DBS.
Stages and year groups Three institutions share one address: Eyüboğlu Kemerburgaz Kindergarten, Eyüboğlu Kemerburgaz Primary School and Eyüboğlu Kemerburgaz Middle School. The primary school runs the PYP, the middle school the MYP. The campus prints no figures for year groups or class sizes.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
IB · PYP, MYP · authorised programmeEyüboğlu Eğitim Kurumları · school is part of the networkThe school is listed in the IB registry at two stages, and it names both itself. The campus primary school runs the Primary Years Programme and says it nurtures curiosity and builds research, inquiry, communication and collaboration skills from an early age. The middle school runs the Middle Years Programme and says it equips pupils with critical thinking, research, inquiry, problem solving and effective communication. Both stages enrich the Turkish national curriculum with the IB approach. The school also describes itself as accredited by the Council of International Schools and calls itself a world school on that basis. The campus publishes no IB codes of its own.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: PYP (ages 3-12), MYP (ages 11-16). PYP is the primary stage, ages 3 to 12. It is not a set of subjects but a frame for the whole school: learning is built around lines of inquiry, and there are no exams at the end. MYP is the middle stage, ages 11 to 16. There are no exams here either; at the end an optional electronic assessment of pupils' work is possible.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →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.
Eyüboğlu Eğitim Kurumlarıschool network
A private network begun in 1970 with the Arı courses, opened by Rüstem Eyüboğlu; the site names no holding and no foundation above the schools, only the board of the group itself. All the schools are in Istanbul, and the numbers within the site agree when counted by stage: the network names fifteen schools - six kindergartens, four primary, three middle and two high schools, Eyüboğlu Koleji and Burçak Fen ve Teknoloji Lisesi, - while the contacts list gives twelve lines, because some of the schools stand there combined, in the form "kindergarten and primary school". The campuses: Çamlıca, opened in 1988, Ataşehir in 2006, Batı Ataşehir and Kemerburgaz in 2008, plus kindergartens in Koşuyolu and Erenköy. The network writes that it was the first in Turkey to run the diploma programme of the International Baccalaureate, in 1996, that it runs all three programmes - the PYP, the MYP and the diploma, - and that it was the first of the Turkish schools to receive CIS accreditation, in 2000.
What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.

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 6 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.
