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.
