About international schools in Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul’s international schools are a mixed market: you will find English-language British and American campuses and a strong cohort of schools offering the International Baccalaureate, alongside long-standing French, German and other national schools and bilingual Turkish private groups that combine national and international programmes. English is the dominant medium at most international campuses, while Turkish is taught across almost all schools and French, German and Spanish are commonly available as additional languages. Fees vary widely and are usually quoted in Turkish lira or US dollars; doris’s fee data shows a very large spread in Istanbul (typical annual tuitions sit around the mid-range but individual schools quote between roughly TRY 33,000 and well over TRY 1,000,000). Admissions follow the Turkish school year with the main intake before the academic year (late summer) and some mid-year places; relocating families should budget time for document checks, residence-permit steps and any entry testing or interviews.
