Our Educational Approach 

Our primary school program is implemented in alignment with the curriculum of the Ministry of National Education and enriched with additional content. These practices are shaped by taking into account students’ interests, learning differences, and readiness levels. 

 

By using various instructional methods and techniques tailored to the needs and expectations of each grade level, we ensure that students remain active participants in the learning process. During this process, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, supported by a focus on self-discipline.

New-Generation Classroom Teaching Model 

 

Education is a process that requires new methods and approaches capable of responding to the innovations and needs of a rapidly changing world. With evolving knowledge fields and emerging instructional approaches, education demands practices that help raise dynamic individuals who can quickly adapt to change. 

 

Considering all these needs, our school implements a model in which students work with a different classroom teacher each academic year in Grades 1, 2, and 3, without altering classroom sections. This allows students to be known by multiple teachers, enables more holistic evaluation, and ensures stronger support for their development. 

 

In Grade 4, we transition to a branch-based teaching model as preparation for middle school. Mathematics and Science courses are taught by subject specialists, while Turkish and Social Studies continue to be taught by classroom teachers. 

 

For English, which consists of 17 hours per week, the teacher responsible for English instruction also serves as the classroom teacher, ensuring continuity.

Assessment and Evaluation in Primary School 

Assessment practices are conducted jointly by classroom teachers and the guidance department. Evaluation tools measure curriculum outcomes as well as critical thinking, entrepreneurship, self-management, teamwork, creativity, communication, research, and problem-solving.  ilkokul 3

Portfolios 

A portfolio displays a student’s work and development throughout the year. Portfolios are used during parent meetings and student presentations. Students learn to explain their work, reflect on their learning, and establish cause-and-effect relationships.  ilkokul 4

Weekday & Weekend Homework 

Daily homework reinforces learning. One weekday is homework-free. Weekend homework includes review, observation, exploration, preparation, and basic research. Parents should guide but not complete homework for the child.
