A full-day international school in the Beylikdüzü industrial zone on the European side of Istanbul. It teaches in English from kindergarten through grade 12, offers a choice between American and British pathways in the upper grades and hosts its own AP examination centre on campus. The school says more than sixty nationalities meet in its classrooms and gives separate language support to students who are not yet fluent in English. A Turkish branch works on the same campus alongside the international one.

About the fees The school does not publish its fees: there is no table by level and no separate page on charges, and the admissions section refers families to the admissions team instead.
Admissions Admission takes four steps and no selective examination: an inquiry through the website form or messenger, a campus visit with classes in session, a short age-appropriate assessment to set the grade and pathway, then enrolment with an admissions officer. The school has opened priority enrolment for the 2026-2027 year and says it deliberately keeps places limited.
Stages and year groups The school runs four stages from kindergarten to grade 12. Kindergarten takes children aged 3 to 5 in an English-immersive setting; primary school covers ages 6 to 10 and is taught fully in English; middle school spans ages 11 to 13; high school, grades 9 to 12, offers a choice of American or British pathway, prepares students for AP and SAT and gives individual university counselling from grade 9. Within the campus the school keeps two branches, Turkish and international.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
College Board · authorised programmeThe school is listed in the College Board AP Course Ledger under number 696358. Its own site confirms this in its own words: it calls itself a certified AP examination centre and says its students sit the exams on campus. No other accreditation is claimed.

College BoardCollege Board, the AP programme
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. Authorisation here runs a year at a time: the register lists the school for the 2025-2026 school year.

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.
American programme
The American school programme, with the High School Diploma at the end. It usually comes together with AP courses, which the College Board stands behind, and with an American accreditation - MSA, NEASC or Cognia.
What this means for this school. The diploma is written out by the school itself: the American programme has no common leaving exam, and the content of the senior years is set by the school. Outside checking therefore rests on two things here - the accreditation of the school, and the AP exams if the school runs them.

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.
