About The Koç School

With its bilingual instructional program and diverse academic staff, Koç School is one of the most prominent educational institutions of Türkiye. It aims to bring each student’s potential to the highest level and raise confident individuals equipped with ethical values and leadership skills in their journey of education that extends from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

History

The Koç School, founded in 1988 by Vehbi Koç Foundation, began its educational journey with its high school section. In 1998, it adapted to the eight-year continuous education program by opening its primary school section.

It swiftly aligned with the 4+4+4 education system reform introduced in 2012 and was restructured as primary school, middle school, and high school. Since 2016, the school has continued its operations under the name The Koç School.

The Koç School has been awarded the "Common Sense School" designation in recognition of its visionary efforts to help students become safe and responsible digital citizens. It will consistently continue to build safe environments by integrating technology into its educational processes with a mindful and ethical approach.

In 2025, The Koç School successfully achieved accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS), an esteemed recognition that assures our standard of educational excellence and continuous improvement on a global scale.

During the comprehensive review process, the CIS Evaluation Team assessed a wide spectrum of our institution—ranging from learning and teaching processes to academic practices, school culture, strategic decision-making, and stakeholder engagement. The extensive interviews, classroom observations, and interactions conducted by the evaluation team clearly highlighted The Koç School’s dynamic, multifaceted framework and growth-oriented approach.

This accreditation serves as international validation of The Koç School’s unwavering commitment not only to academic excellence but also to its core mission: cultivating well-rounded individuals equipped with strong ethical values.
