Our students know that mathematics is the foundation of reasoning skills, and approach mathematics with self-confidence. They develop mathematical thinking, reasoning, and questioning skills by interpreting and developing different perspectives and solutions in a class environment enriched with different methods of mathematical modeling and materials. They synthesize the information they learn with exercises and activities associated with daily life, living mathematics through application and experience.

Extracurricular activities such as yearly math Olympics, mental games and prediction contests, orienteering and Pi Day help our students learn mathematics through experience. Students in this program also have the opportunity to participate in international competitions, such as Gauss contest and AMC (American Mathematics Competition), and to use their knowledge and skills at the global level.

The goal of our Science classes is to make research and learning a way of life for our students, and to help them discover science in a creative manner without relying on rote memorization. Our students use methods based on experimentation, observation, drama, games, and brainstorming to develop their skills in scientific research and data analysis.

Our students implement in their daily lives the practical skills gained through collaborative lab work, where they actively learn by doing. In addition to STEM studies, which brings science, technology and engineering together, the projects and competitions students participate in throughout the year also contribute significantly to the development of their scientific competencies.

In our Social Studies course, students define changing local and global issues by examining historical and current events and make efforts to solve them. They learn how to access and correctly utilize information, and find answers to the questions of “What?”, “When?”, “Where?”, “How?”, and “Who?”. The Social Studies course plays an important role in developing the sensitivity of students to their own cultural heritage, helps them adopt national and universal values, and renders them capable of solving problems

With our interdisciplinary field studies in various regions of Turkey, our students have the chance to interpret what they have learned, recognize different cultures, and have experiences that enrich their worldview while exploring the historical and geographical wealth of our country. 

Based on the reality that each individual is a digital citizen in the contemporary world, the Coding and Information Technologies course in our preparatory year focuses on topics such as getting familiar with computer systems, using social media in a safe and ethical manner, accessing accurate information, and product creation. Algorithms, both computer-based and non-computer-based, and robotic coding studies enable our students to think analytically and to find solutions to various problems.

Using 3D modeling tools such as SketchUp and Tinkercad, our students make three-dimensional designs that are made tangible thanks to 3D printers. Through this process, they not only improve their three-dimensional thinking skills, but are also able to shift from the position of a consumer to that of a producer.

Our middle school English curriculum aims to get the English level of our students to Independent User (B1-B2), as detailed in the European Languages Common Framework Program. The English language program approved by Cambridge Assessment International Education is conducted simultaneously with the reading/writing program that focuses on timeless works of children’s literature.

Carried out by both Turkish and foreign teachers, this program offers students opportunities to use English effectively with club studies, international competitions, conferences, and field work. Our students can choose to receive certificates demonstrating their language skills through examinations prepared by Cambridge Assessment English.

The curriculum at our middle school gives our students the opportunity to develop four basic language skills simultaneously in their chosen language of either German, French, or Spanish. Our students are expected to reach the level of Basic User  (A1-A2) as detailed by the European Languages Common Framework, and become a part of project-oriented education in our courses which are designed to develop communication methods and social skills. 

In addition to international exchange programs, our students have the opportunity to combine their basic language skills in their term projects with activities they enjoy, such as games, drama, dance, music, and painting. They also get to know the culture of the language through their participation in workshops and competitions.

In middle school music lessons, music theory is taught alongside individual instrument training. Students can master their instrument of choice (piano, guitar, violin, or transverse flute) with individual instruction beginning in 4th grade and lasting until 7th grade. Eighth-grade students who wish to continue studying their musical instrument can join music clubs. 8th grade has a curriculum focused on general music culture. Our students become more familiar with many different musical genres, ranging from opera and folk to classical and jazz, through various visual and audio sources.

Students can perform solo or as part of a group at the “New Year’s Concert,” recitals, and talent show. Starting from the 5th grade, they are also able to join the “Sezin Philharmonic Orchestra”. 

The Visual Arts course enables our students to think and produce in a multidimensional manner by connecting various academic disciplines, art fields, techniques, and movements. In addition to working with lines, patterns, textures, composition and crosshatching, students in middle school become acquainted with unique materials including gypsum, ytong blocks, ceramic paste, wire, and waste materials.  

Art-related trips are organized with the goal of helping students examine the works of Turkish and foreign artists while adding a contemporary interpretation to their own study. Interdisciplinary field studies such as “Science, Culture and Art Destination: Eskiþehir” and “Cultural Heritage Awareness: Ionia and Sardes,”  are supplemented with projects that offer a close look into the work of modern and contemporary art masters, such as “Those who shape colors.”

The main goal of the physical education curriculum at the middle school level is for students to use and develop basic and specialized movement skills acquired in Primary School for games in various sport branches. Our students not only improve their motor skills such as endurance, speed, flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination, but also acquire sports culture and learn the principle of “fair play” by participating in sporting activities.
Our middle school has basketball, volleyball and swimming teams comprised of specific age groups: 

• 5th and 6th grade students make up the ”Minors Category”; 
• 7th and 8th grade students make up the “Stars Category.”
