Tarsus American College (TAC) is a private, coeducational day and boarding high school in Tarsus, Turkey, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme alongside a Turkish national curriculum. Since 2004 TAC delivers the IB Diploma, and it remains the only IBDP school in the Mediterranean region. In grade 9 students decide whether to pursue the IB pathway from grade 10, completing grades 10–11 to receive both the national diploma and the IB diploma. The school teaches Turkish for language and social subjects, while core English, science and mathematics are taught in English; TAC Prep English provides an immersion year for incoming students. The campus includes green spaces, an indoor sports hall, and boarding for 140 students. The Korkut Beriker Library holds about 15,000 books and major databases, and CIS accreditation has been renewed through 2004–2024.
