A private science high school in the Bağcılar neighbourhood of the Bağlar district. Three stages work under one name at one address: a primary school, a middle school and the science high school itself. The primary school describes itself this way: it teaches through inquiry and across disciplines, encourages critical thinking and honesty, values multilingualism, intercultural understanding and diversity, follows the state Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli framework and aims to raise balanced lifelong learners. The Turkish home page counts 433 graduates, 10 awards and 1440 teaching hours a year, while the English version of the same page counts 239 graduates, 6 awards and 2500 hours, so these figures are left out of this page.

Stages and year groups Three stages stand at one address: the primary school (İlkokul), the middle school (Ortaokul) and the science high school (Fen Lisesi). The school keeps no pages of its own for classes, ages or the number of parallel groups: the primary and middle school sections publish only a mission and vision statement and files of programme policies.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
IB · DP · authorised programmeThe school is listed in the IB registry, and its record is for the Diploma Programme, the final stage. The home page carries an IB World School badge, but the link under the badge leads to a page that does not exist on the site. Separately, the primary school page publishes an IB application for candidacy response letter in Turkish and in English, together with five programme policies: academic honesty, language, assessment, inclusion and learning diversity, and admission. Candidacy is an accepted application rather than permission to run the programme, so the primary stage is not confirmed here. The school does not publish its IB code.

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: DP (ages 16-19). 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.
Facilities
The school does not describe its premises on its website.
Teaching staff
The school publishes neither the number of its teachers nor their qualifications.
Safety and wellbeing from the school's official website
There is no data for this section yet.
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 6 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.
