FMV Isık High Schools

Nişantaşı Campus, the first campus of the Feyziye Schools Foundation (FMV) Işık Schools, comprises outdoor and indoor areas of approximately 3,5002m and 17,5002m respectively. From its first Istanbul campus in Beyazıt, the school moved to new rented premises at the Naciye Sultan Mansion in Teşvikiye. Some time later, this building and its land were purchased outright. The school took on its current form as its various buildings were erected over the years, and is now a modern educational institution.

The campus’s four interconnected blocks house Işık High School, Işık Primary School and its Kindergarten, and also FMV Administrative Units. Other facilities within the campus include the Muvaffak Benderli Conference Hall, the Sacit Öncel Conference Hall, two indoor sports halls, two terrace outdoor football areas, a library, laboratories, digital classrooms (multimedia) and the FMV Işık Gallery. The campus has been an accredited member of the CIS (Council of International Schools) since 2018.  Işık High School offers students the AP (Advanced Placement) programme, and offers its 3-12 age students the IB PYP (International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme).

FMV Isik High School is now an authorized IB World School offering the Diploma Programme. We are part of a global community of schools committed to developing knowledgeable, caring young people who will be ready to negotiate their futures successfully and make contributions resulting in a more harmonious and peaceful world. FMV Işık High School will be starting its first teaching of the Diploma programme as of 2022-2023 academic year for May 2024 exams.
