It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Admissions: Each year, all students from Turkey's middle schools take a selective entrance examination, and admission to Sainte Pulchérie French High School depends on the scores obtained. The scores required for admission are among the top marks of Istanbul high schools.
Scholarships: For the 2025/2026 school year, free education and scholarships are offered under the Ministry of National Education's regulations for private institutions. The application window runs from June 10, 2025 to June 16, 2025; applications submitted after the deadline are not accepted. To apply, parents must fill the Ek-7 form and deliver the required documents to the accounting department in person after scheduling an appointment with Solin Hanım. Incomplete applications will not be accepted, and all information on the Ek-7 form must be evidenced by documents. The Ek-7 form and the required documents are available at the bottom of the page. Applications are reevaluated each year, and students who previously received scholarships or free education must have their files updated. The regulation requires students to have no disciplinary penalties or grade repetition. If false statements are discovered, the student must pay the waived fees with interest; if false statements lead to an incorrect decision, the institution, the parents, the student, and their guarantors will be reported to the public prosecutor. Official procedures will be carried out, and the relevant authorities will be informed. Necessary documents include those listed as Gerekli Belgeler, Ek-7 Formu, and KVKK Belgesi.
