Our Schools >Elementary School > Life in Our School

Elementary education deals with students in the 7-15 age group. This is a period when the children develop and change rapidly in every direction. Their personalities start taking shape during this period. That is why our educational programs applied during his period are structured in order to support their development and enable them to exploit their potential to the highest possible level. Our approach takes the students as an individual and places him or her at the center. From this point on, our concept of education focuses of satisfying the needs of the student. Our programs are enriched with contributions from contemporary developments in education. Classes are not conducted in an abstract understanding of education based on memorizing. Rather, they strive to link learning with the concrete events of daily life and based on sound perception.

The activities focus on preservation of environment, frugal use of all natural resources and sustainable development.    

Student Council and Student Presidency

Instilling in our students the consciousness, responsibility and values that the individuals should have for the establishment and maintenance of a democratic society is one of the main objectives of our education programs. For this purpose our students hold elections every year to elect the members of the Student Council and their President.

The Student Council and the President elected by the students are instrumental in developing the awareness among the students of self-administration, complying with the rules set up by themselves and their administrative skills. The mechanism is also useful for maintaining the order in the school and student-teacher cooperation that we attribute great importance.
