The newest of the Işık campuses: the foundation bought the plot in Florya in 2019, began building in 2021 and opened the campus in 2023 - for the centenary of the Republic. A kindergarten, a primary school with a middle school and a high school work here, which means a path from the age of three to the twelfth grade at one address. Among its premises the school names a swimming pool, open and indoor sports areas, play gardens by age group, computer laboratories, a science laboratory and separate physics, chemistry and biology laboratories for the high school, a robotics and coding workshop, a planetarium, music rooms with a studio, fine-art workshops and a library set up as a learning centre; the classrooms have internet and interactive boards, and class size goes up to 24. Science and mathematics in the high school are taught in English, the second foreign language is German or Spanish, and the school itself pays for its students' certification exams. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme runs in the kindergarten and the primary school, and the IB Diploma in the high school since 2025. The school does not report the number of students, the teaching staff, clubs, exam results or a list of the universities its graduates enter.

About the fees Fees are announced for the campus on a separate sheet for the 2026-2027 academic year, by stage and grade, and within the high school by year of entry. A bank transfer is cheaper than a card or instalments over six, eight or ten payments, and early registration by 4 March is cheaper than registration by 1 April. VAT of 10 percent is not included in the amounts, meals are counted separately, and the IB Diploma is paid for as a surcharge.
Admissions Applications for the kindergarten, the primary school and the middle school are taken in the order they arrive, and the school keeps reserve lists. For the first grade, five-year-olds from the school's own kindergarten have priority; those who come through the quota have individual talks with psychological counsellors, and for the intermediate grades there is an entrance exam plus the same talk. Graduates of this campus's middle school enter the high school preparatory year on their fifth-to-eighth-grade average, against a threshold the school sets each year, while those coming from other schools enter on their central exam scores.
Stages and year groups Grades up to grade 12. The kindergarten has three groups - junior from the age of three, middle from four, preparatory from five - the primary school runs from the first to the fourth grade, the middle school from the fifth to the eighth, and the high school is five years long, with a preparatory year. The high school has Anatolian status, and class size goes up to 24. The IB Diploma has been in the high school since 2025.

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), DP (ages 16-19). 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. DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.

Schools of the Feyziye Mektepleri Vakfı foundation, FMV on its own pages; the invoices and the signatures on the site stand in the name of Feyziye Mektepleri Vakfı İktisadi İşletmesi, the commercial enterprise of the foundation. The network counts its beginning from the Feyz-i Sıbyan school, opened on 14 December 1885 in Thessaloniki by Mümeyiz Tevfik Efendi; the schools received the name IŞIK on 16 December 1934, on the forty-ninth anniversary. Besides the schools the foundation holds the FMV Işık university and a sports club. Five campuses, all in Istanbul: Nişantaşı, Ayazağa, Erenköy, Ispartakule and Florya, - and fifteen school units on them, because on each campus the kindergarten, the primary-and-middle school and the high school stand as separate institutions, while in Ayazağa, Erenköy and Ispartakule the high school and the Fen Lisesi are split apart. Of programmes the network names the International Baccalaureate - the PYP in the junior schools and the diploma in the high schools - and membership of the Global Schools Program.
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.

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.
Criteria breakdown criterion weight in brackets
Academics and programmes (16%)95 Community rating (16%)no dataparent reviews are needed: the criterion switches on at the fifth verified one Exams and destinations (12%) scored on disclosed data55 Safety and wellbeing (12%) scored on disclosed data65 Accreditation and verifiability (10%)85 Teaching staff (10%) scored on disclosed data55 Facilities (10%) scored on disclosed data70 Clubs and activities (8%) scored on disclosed data55 "Scored on disclosed data" stands where we count only what the school has written about itself on its own site: exams and destinations, safety and wellbeing, teaching staff, facilities, clubs and activities. 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 8 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.
