SAC American College Ozel Sev Lisesi

The mission of SEV is to nurture globally-minded, well-rounded, happy individuals who make positive contributions to society by way of their academic achievements and social consciousness.

Our mission is to provide SAC students with the highest standard of education in a safe, dynamic, motivating and multilingual environment where they learn international mindedness, and are inspired to acquire 21st century skills with respect for themselves, others and the environment.

In pursuit of our mission, our goal is to provide excellence in holistic education so that each student:

• Practices a clear commitment to the ideals of Atatürk.
• Is academically successful on high national and international levels.
• Develops mind, body, and spirit to live as a well-balanced individual who will pursue higher education and lifelong learning.
• Learns critical thinking, social and communication skills.
• Shows commitment to justice, mutual respect, human rights, ethical behavior, tolerance, and self-discipline.
• Is committed to bilingual and multicultural interaction for the appreciation of diversity of perspectives and cultures.
• Shows environmental awareness and is dedicated to environmental protection.
• Adapts creatively and innovatively to life and work using scientific inquiry, literary and artistic approaches, information technology, and the social sciences.
• Embodies responsibility, initiative and follow through, honesty and generosity, effective teamwork, and democratic leadership.
• Participates fully in democratic processes and philanthropic organizations as part of lifelong service to humanity.

We have grown rapidly and as of August 2019 we now have over 600 students and over one hundred teachers. We continue to enjoy the support, heritage and culture of the Health and Education Foundation and benefit from our associations with our sister schools. Yet as the youngest (and proudest) member of the SEV family we are striving to establish our own culture and identity.

We have world class sports facilities, an incredible IT infrastructure and a committed staff and faculty. We value international mindedness, social awareness, innovation and a sense of respect for others and the environment. At the core of our mission, however, is the aim to provide the highest quality education possible with a strong emphasis on English language development and the delivery of many parts of the curriculum in English. We aim to continue sending our graduates to prestigious universities both abroad and in Turkey.

As we move forward, SAC aims to strengthen and develop both its classroom learning opportunities and provide a greater range of activities and events for our students outside the classroom. We are committed to our IB program, to achieving and maintaining the standards set by the accreditation process for the Council of International Schools and enhancing an already rigourous Ministry of Education curriculum. With our state of the art campus, we hope to further develop our reputation for innovative approaches to education, success with technology and a unique range of cultural, sporting and artistic activities.
