Keystone International Schools was founded in 2011 as the first Canadian offshore school in Turkey. It follows the Prince Edward Island curriculum, which includes French as a second language for primary, middle, and high school students. The school provides international students in Istanbul the opportunity to earn a Canadian diploma in a student-centered environment. Keystone is accredited by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and is identified as a Canadian Offshore school through Prince Edward Island.
Keystone maintains connections with its graduates through an active alumni network. Alumni stay engaged through university fairs, mentorship programs, and speaking opportunities, reinforcing the school's culture and impact on future generations. The Alumni page shows annual university placement results for recent years with a 100% university placement rate in 2025 and 2024.
Keystone PTO is a volunteer organization supporting the school community—students, families, teachers, and staff. It is managed by a committee of parent volunteers and members of the school Leadership Team. The PTO welcomes all families and enhances communication among parents, students, teachers, and administrators, and organizes community events and activities throughout the school year. Fundraising initiatives and charitable drives are coordinated by the PTO to benefit local and school-based causes. Each class elects a Class Parent who acts as liaison between families, teachers, and the PTO. Volunteers take on roles from event coordination to snack sales and drives, and parents are encouraged to get involved in planning and execution of PTO-led activities.
