Illustration · Gaziantep
The schools of the Gaziantep Kolej Vakfi foundation in the Sehitkamil district of Gaziantep. The foundation was set up in 1963 on the initiative of the industrialist and businessman Cemil Alevli and a group of volunteer benefactors of education; the school is non-profit, lives on tuition and donations, works as a public-benefit body and is, as it writes of itself, given over to the people of Gaziantep. It all began under the name Gaziantep Koleji with the support of an association founded to open and sustain the college: 129 pupils across a primary school, a middle school and a high school in a single Antep house. Today the foundation sets out its institutions in separate sections: a primary school, a middle school, an Anatolian high school, a science high school and the Cemil Alevli college, which is the one the IB record is entered on. The foundation keeps its international programmes in a section of their own: the PYP and the MYP, with policies and bulletins.

About the fees The foundation does have a registration fees and dates page, and the registration section sits in the top menu, but there are no figures on that page at all: it leads to a preliminary interview booking form. There is no range by level on the site, and the foundation does not say whether a price is quoted with or without VAT.
Admissions The foundation keeps admission on two pages: fees and registration dates in one section and a preliminary interview booking in the other. Neither page names requirements for applicants, entrance tests or a list of documents: both come down to forms and the phone number of the parent relations office.
Stages and year groups The foundation runs a full line and splits it across institutions: a primary school, a middle school, an Anatolian high school, a science high school and the Cemil Alevli college. It gives no number for its entry age. The IB stages the school holds in the registry cover the whole line: primary, middle and final.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
IB · PYP, MYP, DP · authorised programmeIn the IB registry the school is listed under code 050190, with three stages: the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. The international programmes section of the site holds working documents for two of them: school policies, parent bulletins and letters for the PYP, and for the MYP also community project material. Yet the text on the PYP page is written in the voice of a candidate school: it says the school is a candidate to deliver the primary programme and is continuing its work towards IB World School status, and reminds the reader itself that candidacy is no guarantee of authorisation. The mark here follows the registry rather than that text.

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), 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. 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. 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.
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.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.

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.
