LEARNING

 Istanbul International School is committed to a child-centred curriculum that addresses the needs of our students in a changing world and facilitates their transfer to international or national schools.

Our secular curriculum strives to incorporate the experiences, culture and perspectives of our students and their families and consider the all-round development of the individual by encouraging curiosity, reflection and questioning, with an emphasis on sharing knowledge rather than competition.

Istanbul International School is one of the accredited schools in Istanbul, we offer educational services to students aged 3 – 18.

The programme offers children a variety of choices. The environment includes art, dramatic play, maths, language work, enjoying books, art, music, water and sand play, science activities, and so on.
