Nesibe Aydın Okulları Konya Kampüsü
Konya, Turkey · PrivateThe Konya campus works in the Beyhekim neighbourhood of the Selçuklu district and belongs to Nesibe Aydın Okulları, a private group of schools that keeps a single shared site for all of its sites. The campus has no page about itself: its section carries a heading with no text, and the only Konya-specific data on the site is an address and a telephone number on the contact page. Stages, curriculum and admission are described on group-wide pages without splitting by site, and the section on the Primary Years Programme leads to the Ankara campus.

IB · PYP · authorised programmeNesibe Aydın Okulları · school is part of the networkWhat stands behind each entry
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). 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.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →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.
A private network begun in 1984 by two teachers, Nesibe and Hüsamettin Aydın, from an educational publishing house; in 1998 they added courses known as "Yıldızlar", and in 2015 the courses became the school Nesibe Aydın Yıldızlar Okulu. The site names no foundation and no holding above the schools: the network appears under its own name, and alongside it stand the publishing houses Aydın Yayınları and Miray Yayınları, the courses, the Hurra Lingo language centre, a sports club and the Journal of Education and Future. The "Okullarımız" list is grouped by city and gives nine: Ankara, Antalya, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Istanbul, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Konya and Mersin, - and within Ankara there are several campuses, among them Çankaya, Gölbaşı and "Yıldızlar".
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.
