About Us
15+ Years
As Tarabya Yıldız College – TED AD; we offer a learning journey where every student discovers their own star. Guided by the words of our Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, “It is education that either enables a nation to live in freedom, independence, glory, and prosperity, or leaves it in bondage and misery,” we design an innovative, inclusive, and student-centered education that meets the needs of the age of knowledge and technology.
Why Tarabya Yıldız?
● Our Guiding Light: Inspired by the Turkish Education Association’s mission as the “educational torch of our Republic,” we shape the educational standards of the future with the reflection of a strong legacy.
● Student-Centered Approach: Through personalized learning plans tailored to each individual’s learning style, we guide our students to discover and make the most effective use of their unique potential.
● Multidisciplinary / Bilingual Education Program: By integrating Turkish and English within various subjects, we create thematic and natural learning environments where language is not only taught but embraced as a part of life.
● Practice-Based Processes: With project-based learning, workshop activities, and lessons centered on 21st-century skills, students not only acquire knowledge but also produce, connecting the analog and digital worlds.
Learning Across Grade Levels
● Preschool & Elementary: Our learning environments and activities, inspired by contemporary educational models such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, High Scope, and Multiple Intelligences Theory, support children’s journey of curiosity, expression, and discovery.
● Middle School: Within an interdisciplinary structure enriched with projects and activities, students develop critical thinking, social responsibility, and academic achievement together.
Support and Monitoring System
● Academic Monitoring: We regularly conduct formative assessments for our students and create personalized study programs based on the results. Through our “Mastery Learning” model, we quickly identify learning gaps and provide effective solutions.
● Guidance & Parent Involvement: At every stage of the educational process, we offer tailored guidance to both students and parents, and through parent seminars, we co-design the educational journey.
Campus and Facilities
● Spacious classrooms, technology-supported laboratories, well-equipped art & sports studios, quiet study areas, a swimming pool, and naturally landscaped gardens — each of these spaces nurtures students’ physical, academic, and social development.
Parent Communication
● Regular Updates and Feedback: We ensure transparent communication with parents through formative assessment results, progress reports, and student-parent meetings.
● Parent Workshops: Seminars held in December, March, and May invite parents to actively participate in topics such as anger management, communication, and bonding.
● Collaborative Activities: Parents are both encouraged and expected to take part in school festivals, cultural trips, project fairs, and social responsibility initiatives.
● Middle School & High School Entrance Exam (LGS) Monitoring: Students’ mock exam results and personalized academic roadmaps are shared with families to build strategies together.
