Işıkkent Eğitim Kampüsü

Our education philosophy is to enable students to stand on their own two feet, have their own voice within society, and integrate what they learn into their daily lives. Our constructivist approach asks the teacher to assess the level of understanding students currently have and use this understanding to assiststudents in the development of their future learning.

Işıkkent teachers facilitate and encourage learning through student-centred activities. The protective relationship between teachers and students is supported by counselling and coaching systems, which develop students intellectually, emotionally and physically. Teachers regularly receive professional development training programmes to shape life-long learning through professional critical awareness. Assessments which are practised during learning, teaching and supporting processes, help students to be lifelong learners.

Our school library contains published, visual and electronic resources and materials that are suitable for different age groups and learning styles.

The library has a growing collection of over 24,000 books in English and Turkish, with additional collections of books in French, Spanish and Italian. The Işıkkent Library regularly subscribes to 9 different magazines titles in both Turkish and English. Information on current affairs are supported through 2 electronic databases.

The library meets both teaching and learning needs and supports the curriculum as well as promoting the habit of reading. For this reason, students actively use the library for a variety of activities -such as lessons, reading and research- throughout their learning process.

The Işıkkent Boarding School was founded in 2012, in order to provide students in the Aegean Region with a unique, high quality learning environment that has global educational standards.
