We believe that the purpose of education is to instill in our children the desire and the capability of becoming happy and successful individuals.

We also believe that every child possesses qualities that would enable him or her to grow up into a free and versatile individual when cultivated properly.

Furthermore, it is our conviction that ensuring the well-being of societies, eradicating ignorance and creating a democratic society can only be accomplished by well-educated individuals and thus the most important endeavor for the sake of humanity is education.

In addition to all these values, it is also our goal to make our students develop character traits that would make them good citizens.

Our traditions that we have strictly followed from 1877 until the present and the principle of “educating the students from pre-school days throughout primary and high school years in a consistent atmosphere and culture, giving special priority to protect their mental integrity,” give us the strength to achieve these goals.

Our objective is to educate our children without suppressing the different, innate qualities each one may possess.

• To cultivate enlightened and inquisitive individuals who are equipped for higher levels of education and who have accumulated sufficient learning to encounter many turns of life without much difficulty,
  
• To turn out creative and freethinking, tolerant, participating and responsible persons who are self-confident, respectful to the environment, embracing a democratic and secular social order, faithful to Ataturk’s principles and who are open to change and development and able to perceive national and universal values and contributing to them.
  
• Always to give particular importance to invest in projects that would enrich and diversify social life and use all resources in the field of education.
  
• Always to maintain its position as a pioneer, the activities of which are seen as reference points in the field of education and an institution that brings forward and develops the talents of its students, constantly increasing the level of their academic success.

The mission of the Terakki Foundation Schools is to bring out the qualities that each child has and educate and equip them in a way that they can defend their rights and reconcile themselves with universal principles and human relations and be aware of the significance of civilized behavior as much as the importance of knowledge. The Terakki Foundation Schools strictly apply these principles to maintain its position in the educational field to produce such individuals as a deep-rooted, reliable and successful institution.
