Thank you for your interest in Tarabya British Schools in Istanbul, a learning community in which students are challenged by the academic programme, welcomed by their new friends and engaged in sports and activities that promote their well-being. Ideally situated near the beautiful Bosporus, the Schools provide the benefits of a safe environment within easy reach of all that a vibrant and dynamic city like İstanbul has to offer. Tarabya British Schools are authorized by Cambridge International Education to offer its globally respected comprehensive educational programme for 4 – 19 year olds, encompassing a proven system of qualifications. We are uniquely positioned to offer the best of the British education system: the ‘gold standard’ Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programmes in a diverse range of highly desirable subjects. However, we are not in the business of merely putting students through a ‘system’ with the sole aim of merely achieving ‘grades’. We have the vision of student self-development based on the principles of student-centered learning which we believe will allow students to actually put into practice what they have been taught. With this in mind, each semester incorporates many extra-curricular activities. They are designed to allow for the practical application of many of the key skills crucial to the development of independent, self-motivated individuals. By integrating the curriculum in this way, our focus is on encouraging students to not just learn their subjects, but more importantly, to actually utilise their evolving critical and innovative faculties. This will ultimately distinguish them from their peers when applying for entry into the world’s most competitive universities. Why are we so confident that we can help our students compete effectively in an increasingly globalised world? Tarabya British Schools have a wealth of knowledge about the needs of students living in Turkey and the requirements of international education providers.
