1. Review the admissions framework for the current academic year. The admission score for 2025-2026 will be announced according to the calendar in the Private Schools Registration Booklet. The prep year is compulsory, and the prep class quota and LGS-based admissions are defined there. The prep year includes an intensive English program, a second foreign language (German, French or Spanish), Turkish, Science, Mathematics, Visual Arts, Physical Education, Music, Information Technologies and Homeroom. Boarding is available for both female and male students, and campus visits can be arranged by calling the school.

2. Arrange a campus visit and complete pre-registration. You can visit the campus by calling to schedule an appointment. Registration takes place at the school, and detailed procedures are published in the annual Guidelines for Private Schools Admissions. There is no separate gender quota.

3. Complete enrollment. The enrollment is finalized by signing the enrollment contract. If someone other than the parents completes enrollment, a power of attorney from the legal parents is required. If the parents are divorced, the parent with legal custody must complete registration.

4. Handle tuition and on-site logistics. Tuition is paid at the school via Yapı Kredi Bank with options for cash payment, bank transfer, or credit card. Installments are available for Worldcard credit cards, and the bank overdraft option can be used. Information about uniforms, meals and service buses is communicated by email during the registration period.

5. Understand scholarships as part of admissions. Financial Support (needs-based) scholarships are available, awarded according to the relevant regulations, and applications must be submitted during the first pre-registration period via the Apply for scholarship option. This is a one-year scholarship, and renewal is required to continue beyond one year. Scholarship decisions are made by the school's scholarship committee.
