Kilittaşı Schools offer a K–12 dual curriculum that integrates the Turkish MEB program with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Founded in 2013 by Keystone International Schools, the Kilittaşı campus in Çekmeköy, Istanbul serves students from Kindergarten through Anatolian High School. On graduation, students receive both the MEB and the OSSD, expanding options in Canada, the United States, Europe, and beyond.

Kilittaşı is a DELF–DALF examination center and supports French through international exam opportunities. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, research, and problem-solving, and aligns with Round Square ideals and WASC accreditation.
