Açı Schools > About Us > Institutional

Our school, which has actualized Açı project with its employees, students and parents, was established in 1998. Açı Schools have adopted the principle of reaching the level of “contemporary civilization” as set forth by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. We formed an institution that sets high goals in academic achievement and proactively takes on social responsibility. Açı Schools’ first high school students graduated in June 2011, and since then it continues to offer its educational services at five different campuses, with a program that fully covers ages three until end of high school.

Açı Schools, with all their teachers and employees, believe in the potential of our country’s younger generation, who are bound by the values and principles of our Republic. Açı Schools guide their students to grow up as individuals who do not compromise their principles and philosophy for tomorrow’s tough world, which is also full of opportunities.

We would like to thank all our stakeholders who have contributed to our school which continue to operate with its standards and values.

Our Philosophy

Tomorrow’s world presents us with fast, challenging changes to social and economic dynamics, which are a result of an ever-increasing population and the rapid depletion of natural resources. Schools should embrace these challenges and educate students to become individuals who can analyze and manage these dynamics without compromising their universal values.

As Açı Schools, we believe that we are responsible for improving the existing living conditions for humans and the natural habitat by intertwining the power of knowledge and universal values.
