Our school started its educational activities on 1998. Our school is certificated as per quality management system ISO 9001. 2008..As our school in a high immigrant-receiving area, it provides education to the children of families from all parts of Turkey with a mix of various cultures. Life style and structure of the families in the neighbourhood reflect common characteristics of the country people. People from all parts of the country settled in the area, consisting of very young population in general. Our School is located in Istanbul and has 1211 students, 6-12 years. 2% of the school accounts for immigrants from Middle East. And we have one class specific to autistic children with six students enrolled. In our school, drama course, chess course and folk dance activities are organized for the students. Socio-economic level of the students is above the average in Turkey. And the school hosts many cultural and sports events with a number of achievements in this respect. Being children of highly conscious and committed parents, the students have high attraction to the school and education. The most important priority and need of the students is to express themselves in a variety of socio-cultural environments. The most important need of our school is wide areas for performance of various cultural and sports activities. In our school, the teachers and students carry out nationwide projects , but the primary deficiency of our school is lack of experience in terms of international projects, so or most important priority is to take place in an international project Under the project “Child Writers”, poems and stories of five students of our school were made into a book, autographed and circulated. With the motto “Each Toy A Smile, Each Smile A Hope”, a toy campaign was organized for the children receiving cancer treatment. Our teachers publish “School Magazine” each year regularly. Furthermore, a blood donation campaign is organized each year in our school regularly through the Red Crescent by participation of the parents of the students. And each year clothing and stationery support is given to those in need of them in Turkey. And one of the schools in the less developed regions is chosen as Sister School” and clothing and stationery aid is given to the sister school.  I believe we may successfully carry out any project thanks to our teachers who are open to innovations, diverse cultures and research and capable of making projects. And our school is an institution preferred by the students who proved themselves in their respective fields
