Istanbul, Turkey · Private
Illustration · Istanbul
The campus in the Ataşehir district of İstanbul belongs to the MBA Okulları network, which is held by the Medicana education group, and it runs four consecutive stages: a kindergarten and a primary school on the IB PYP programme, a middle school and an Anatolian High School, with the IB Diploma Programme in the senior years. The network is a large one - thirty-four campuses around the country - and its site is built as a shop window for the whole network rather than for a single school: the campus has a page with its address and a list of its rooms, but no page of its own about admissions, fees, teachers or leavers. The campus has a swimming pool, a sports hall, an MBAFIT room, a basketball court, a conference hall, a library, physics, chemistry and biology laboratories, a computer room and a virtual reality laboratory, fine art, music and creative drama workshops, a chess room, a gastronomy workshop and an ecology workshop, an ecological garden and a cafeteria. The school publishes neither the fees, nor the conditions of admissi, nor the composition of its teaching staff: the enrolment section on the network's site is a contact form, and the leadership section lists only the group's directors and coordinators.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
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.
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. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.

Schools of Medicana Eğitim Grubu, the education arm of the Medicana group; the group spells the name MBA out as Modern Bilimler Akademisi. Medicana itself describes itself as a union of companies begun in 1992, and holds, besides the schools, 16 hospitals and three medical centres in Turkey and beyond it, from Sarajevo to England, plus Fenerbahçe University. The group opened its schools in the 2018-2019 school year, and took over some of its sites: the network writes that Modern Bilimler Koleji became MBA Okulları when the group arrived. On size the owner says: 19 schools, 19 campuses in 11 provinces - Istanbul, Bursa, Ankara, Manisa, Nevşehir, Adana, Batman, Muğla, Sivas, Eskişehir and Kahramanmaraş. Some of the campuses run the IB PYP, among them the Istanbul one in Çamlıca.

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.
