Ankara, Turkey · est. 1998 · Private
Illustration · Ankara
A private school of the Gazi University Foundation in the Maltepe district of Ankara. It opened in the 1998-1999 academic year with 113 pupils and saw its first leavers in 2002-2003, most of whom went on to the strongest Anatolian high schools in Ankara. An Anatolian high school and a science high school were added in 2003-2004. The school leans on the faculty of the Gazi Education Faculty: its academics take part in choosing teachers, the founder's representative is a professor of the university, and the foundation's board is chaired by the rector. The school also has a record in folk dance, chess and several sports, with places at city, regional and national level.

About the fees The school does not publish annual tuition on its site. The only announced figures are the prices for school meals for the academic year and the terms of the transport service.
Admissions There is no single admissions page: conditions for the coming year are published as three separate announcements, one each for the primary school, the middle school and the high school, and the school's own entrance examinations appear as a calendar in the examination schedule section. For high school applicants the school separately announces university choice counselling and scholarship terms.
Stages and year groups Levels: preschool, primary school, middle school, an Anatolian high school and a science high school. The primary and middle schools opened in the 1998-1999 academic year and both high schools in 2003-2004. The IB Diploma Programme runs in the final high school years.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
IB · DP · authorised programmeCambridge · authorised programmeThe school is listed in the IB registry with the Diploma Programme and in the Cambridge examination centre registry. Its high school was accepted as an IB candidate school on 4 June 2010 and was authorised as an IB World School after the visit of 9-10 May 2011; the school notes that it completed authorisation in one year instead of the usual two or three. The Diploma Programme runs in the last two high school years alongside the Turkish diploma. Cambridge programmes are not mentioned anywhere on the school's site.

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: DP (ages 16-19). 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.

Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.

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.

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 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.
