Kilittaşı Schools were founded in 2013 by Keystone International Schools. Kilittaşı offers a distinctive K–12 dual curriculum that combines the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MEB) program with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) from Ontario, Canada. The school serves Kindergarten through Anatolian High School from a Çekmeköy, Istanbul campus. Upon graduation, students receive both the Turkish MEB High School Diploma and the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), broadening their university options to Canada, the United States, Europe, and beyond. Kilittaşı is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and is a member of the Round Square global school network.
The Early Years and primary programs use English as the language of instruction, with French introduced as a second language, followed by an intensive French program in Grade 5 and continued bilingual Turkish–English education with French as a third language. Language learning extends beyond the classroom through real-life experiences and trips, including France. Kilittaşı fosters an international learning ecosystem with programs designed for global citizenship. The school offers international programs such as Round Square, Model United Nations (MUN), JMUN, and Destination Imagination to develop leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
