The school was founded in 1985 originally to serve the children of Turkish families that had lived in Germany. Its premises have a capacity of 500 students. Entry to the school requires passing the national LGS (Liseye Geçiş Sınavı) tests for high school admission with a result within a specific percentile that is set annually.
The school offers 4 years of standard education and a year of preparation for new students in language. The language of instruction is Turkish. Courses in English and German as foreign languages are offered, including for the German B1 and C1 certificate examinations.
The school magazine Kalender includes contributions from students.
Controversies
In 2016, the emblem of the school, which featured Atatürk and the Turkish flag, was changed without the community's knowledge. In response, students and alumni initiated a social media campaign and collected signatures. As a result, the school administration announced that they would continue using the original emblem.[2][3]
