MEBMinistry of National Education of Turkey
The school was opened by the Turkish education ministry and belongs to it: the Turkish national curriculum, teaching in Turkish, the state e-Okul records system and the Turkish leaving certificate at the end. Every such school is named on the ministry's open list, each with its own institution number and a website in the state meb.k12.tr zone.
What the badge means for this school. This is a Turkish state school abroad, and that can be checked on the ministry's list. The entry is not a quality inspection: a school gets onto the list by belonging to the ministry, not by being assessed. The curriculum and the certificate are Turkish, and the school awards no international diploma. Whether it takes a child with no Turkish, and what it charges, are on its own website. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

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.
