It was founded in 2008.  Our  school has  thirty-six classrooms, a gymnasium, two science laboratories, a computer laboratory,  two  kindergarten classrooms. There are also an  art classroom, a theatre  hall ,  a library  and  a canteen.We have  780 students (6-14 years old) and 48 teachers. The School has got computers in every classroom  with smart board tech and projectors. Our students take part in a lot of social and cultural activities.
In our  school , the majority  of the students comes  from low  socio - economic families   and the  cultural  differences  between  families  are  strong. Turkish as  a native language is used as the first language and English is taught as the second language.
Our students  want to improve their English skills. In this  project,  we   wish to  develop the European dimensions in education and improve communication  between our  students  and their European  colleagues  .
