Post new topic

BOSTON MAMA

Hello All,

I have been doing some internet searches and can not seem to find any international schools? Seems unbelievable.

Are there any schools in Izmir that teach in English?

Thanks

zeroman



IZMIR MEF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

I have a child. He's 18months and I'm looking for a kindergarten for him....any help?
Thanks!

zeroman

Above mentioned and the schools in the link, all of them have kindergardens...

But Izmir Turk Koleji have kindergardens in different locations of the city. Maybe because of this, it can be more considerable:



and they have playgroups for the babies under 36 months old...

zeroman

Or try to contact people from International Women Association of Izmir, they organise playgroups and they can suggest you more tips.

Thank you

Hi, there is a great chance we will be moving to Izmir . Please let me know what you did. I am looking for an English or French speaking school. All I found is MEF which is way too expensive for me.  Any tips please?

Hello Nievesnieves,

This is an old thread inactive since 2013.

If you don't get any responds, you can create a new thread in the Izmir forum to relaunch the discussion.

Thank you,
Marjorie

There are other schools in Izmir that offer international curricula, although I don't know if they truly qualify as "international". You might want to check out the following schools as well:

1. ACI (American Collegiate Institute)- high school in Goztepe; Offers the IB program in high school with everything except Turkish & Social Sciences taught in English; I believe they have strict entrance requirements that are based on an academic exam, or being a foreign student that already lives in Turkey
2. SEV- the same campus as ACI, but is an elementary & middle school in Goztepe
3. TED Izmir- currently K-7 and is a Cambridge school; students are supposed to get 10 hours of English a week, although I can't comment on the quality. Located in Urla, so a bit far from the city center
4. Issikent- K-12 school in Bornova; They offer Cambridge programs (IGCSE in the high school) and have quite a few native speaker teachers

I know there is also a French school & a German school (TEV?)  in Guzelbahce. I believe those are the languages of instructions, but I don't know anything about their curriculum or entrance requirements

Good luck!

Hello -

Any luck on updates for primary schools?  We are considering a move to Izmir as well with a 6 year old son  - 1st grader - not kindergarten.  Very challenging to find an affordable school that is English language, dual language, or French.
