İTK Bahattin Tatış Kampüsü Anadolu Lisesi
Izmir, Turkey · PrivateThe Anatolian high school on the Bahattin Tatis campus is one of the schools of Izmir Ozel Turk Koleji and stands in Konak, on Mithatpasa Avenue by the Kopru stop. The same site holds the Mithatpasa kindergarten, a primary school, a middle school and a separate science high school, each a school of its own. The school puts the campus area at close to 30,000 square metres and the Usakizade mansion, built in 1860, stands at its heart. University preparation is built in from grade nine with mock exams, study sessions and one-to-one counselling, alongside career choice programmes, career introduction days and job shadowing. The Anatolian high school has run the IGCSE programme since the 2022-2023 academic year. The campus has boarding houses, separate for girls and boys, with supervised study, clubs and trips, so the school takes boarders as well as day students. It belongs to the Izmir Ozel Turk Koleji group of institutions, with campuses in Izmir, Manisa and Marmaris.
Key facts
Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
College Board · authorised programmeİzmir Özel Türk Koleji · school is part of the networkWhat stands behind each entry
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.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →Programmes of the University of Cambridge: the school teaches to Cambridge syllabuses and enters its pupils for exams that Cambridge marks itself. IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate.
What this means for this school. The papers are marked by Cambridge, not by the school, so a leaver's grade does not depend on how strict their own teachers are with them. To enter pupils for these exams a school has to be registered as a Cambridge exam centre; registration as a centre is permission to run exams rather than accreditation of the school, and it says nothing about the quality of teaching. IGCSE is taken at around Year 10 or 11 and A-Level in the final years, and it is the A-Level results that carry a pupil into British and many other universities.
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.
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.
An Izmir college, opened on 15 November 1950 by the mathematics teacher Bahattin Tatış in house number 23 on Talatpaşa Boulevard; the site names no foundation, holding or managing company above the schools - the college runs itself. Five campuses: three in Izmir - Bahattin Tatış, Büyükçiğli and Bornova, - and one each in Marmaris, opened in 2013, and Manisa, opened in 2016. On each campus there are a kindergarten, primary and middle schools and high schools, Anadolu and Fen. Of itself the college writes as one of the leading institutions not only of the Aegean region but of Turkey, and counts its experience as seventy-six years.
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.
