The dormitories are apartment‑style living spaces designed to support student development beyond housing. Rooms are configured as triple or quad occupancy, with each student having a room that includes a bed, wardrobe, bookcase, and work desk. Bathrooms and toilets are shared, and there are common areas and many study halls for individual or group study. Dormitory evenings feature workshops and guest sessions, continuing education in the evenings and through clubs.
The dining hall provides balanced, organic meals for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks, with dinner and evening snacks available for students in dormitories. Meals are planned by food engineers and dietitians, prepared with fresh vegetables and quality meats, and served by staff. Dishes use Riviera olive oil or butter. Third grade and above eat at tables, while younger students eat at tables and older students may serve themselves starting in third grade.
The school is owned by the NÛN Education and Culture Foundation.
Private NÛN Schools, run by the NÛN Education and Culture Foundation in Turkey, serve students aged 3 to 18 and are affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. The curriculum embraces the International Baccalaureate across the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), with the PYP authorized and the DP program since March 2017. PYP units run in six-week modules and culminate in mini exhibitions that showcase inquiry-led learning. Differentiation and inquiry-based approaches underpin teaching, and classrooms are designed for about 20 students to support collaboration. The campuses feature well-stocked libraries, laboratories, observatories, and flexible spaces; an ecology lab and botanical garden reinforce hands-on science. Outdoor spaces, a forested campus, and a sustainable living program extend learning beyond the classroom. NÛN emphasizes experiential learning, outdoor education, and community service through activities like NÛN Volunteers and thematic programs such as Sefer-i NÛN and Inspiring Guests.
