The British International School Istanbul (BISI) provides a wide range of educational choices for international families. We are a private, coeducational school providing British-style international education for 520 students of 40 nationalities between the ages of 2½ and 18.
The British International School follows internationally recognised curricula. The English National Curriculum makes later transition to other school systems straightforward. Following the IGCSE examination, completion of the International Baccalaureate programme brings access to the world's finest universities. We have excellent academic success. Primary SAT results and IGCSE results are well above average and tertiary entry by recent IB graduates includes such universities as British Columbia, Edinburgh, Middlesex, Michigan State, New York, Toronto, Warsaw, York and Goldsmiths College, London.
Turkey in general and Istanbul in particular are extraordinarily rich in geographical and historical sites. The School curriculum takes full advantage of this, with educational visits and exchanges organised annually within Turkey and abroad.
