Dogus Science High School is a private co-educational establishment

residential suburb on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, the modern campus,
consisting of seven buildings, accommodates the students of Dogus
Kindergarten, Dogus Elementary, High, and Science High Schools, and
Dogus University. In pursuit of excellence and internationalism in
education, the group was accredited by the International Baccalaureate
Organisation in 1994, its first IB graduates receiving their diplomas

The Dogus Group of Schools affords its students and teachers a
wide range of educational and social facilities, including libraries,

clubs. The school founded its own radio station in 1993, 'Dogus
FM', which is on the air daily with a range of broadcasts, including
programmes produced by students and teachers.
Sport plays an important part in life at the Dogus Group of Schools.
Sporting facilities include a fitness centre, gymnasiums, basketball

indoor swimming pool. Extra-curricular sports activities are also
available for students, alumni, parents and teachers in the evenings,
at the weekends, and during school holidays.
Great emphasis is placed on the teaching of foreign languages at

ages of three and six undergo an intensive half-day English education
programme. English education continues intensively through elementary
school and into high school, with the introduction of a second foreign
