Our Campus

We are a growing High School.  We currently have three classes of normal Anatolian High School and one modified programme in G9, two normal and one modified in G10 and a mix of Turkish Maths and Maths/Science track students in G11 and G12. The maximum number of students in classes in our High School is 24. Students may move class depending on the academic success.

Arrangements in classrooms are the same at every grade. Classrooms are standard throughout; but desk and table orders setting in classrooms may change according to the teacher’s style of teaching, for example the modified classes study in groups due to their inquiry-based programme of study. Education and training materials used vary according to the grade. Students have lockers and are responsible for their tidiness and their spare belongings.

Information Technology

We believe in teaching through an information technology rich environment. Every classroom is equipped with a Smartboard© with lessons taught interactively by means of Interactive Whiteboards. Students are required to use IPads © in their learning and they reinforce what they learn in the lessons with their digital books, through the internet, and teacher- prepared materials on special software.

Biology, Chemistry and Physics Laboratories

Our students learn in state-of-the art facilities in our newly refurbished laboratories. The labs have recently been upgraded and use university level infrastructure to prepare our students for tertiary education as learning by practice and experience is one of our basic principles. Students learn to pose scientific questions and then discover the solution through collaborative planning and practical work.  

Experiential Learning

The Arts makes a great contribution to personal development, extraordinary thinking, imagination and entrepreneurship and in Bahçeşehir Schools we aim to raise the artists of the future. Bahçeşehir Schools’ students become creative individuals who understand art and artists... In music, in visual arts, in theatre and in dance.

Library

In our newly refurbished library, we are building a substantial collection, aiming for 25,000 books, both in hard copy and digital in order to support our students’ learning and research capabilities. This is supplemented by online databases supplied by EBSCO © so that our students can study for and complete a thesis-level piece of work such as an extended essay. There are Turkish and English literature books, academic books on humanities, mathematics and the sciences as well as test books, textbooks, TUBITAK science books, books about Atatürk, periodicals and daily newspapers that our students, teachers and parents can utilize. The library is catalogued using the Dewey system. Our library also has an ICT component with laptops to support the students’ learning. In consequence of Analysing the statistics we prepare at the end of the year, we award the students, teachers and parents who use the library the most.
