Dear friends, today we want to tell you about primary and secondary education in Antalya, because in recent years, especially due to the pandemic situation, many people are thinking about moving to Turkey for permanent residence, which means that sooner or later, the issue of children's education will become relevant. Antalya, which currently has a population of almost 2.5 million people, has a huge selection of educational institutions in all parts of the city, both public and private
.Public schools in Turkey operate according to the 4-3 system, that is, the first 4 years are primary school, the next 4 years are secondary school and the last are higher school (lyceum). By purchasing real estate in Turkey and obtaining a residence permit, you can enroll a child in a public school absolutely free
of charge with your own registration.To do this, you must:
- valid residence permit
- medical certificate
- apostilled translation of a school certificate from your country where the child studied earlier.
Children adapt well to public schools and quickly begin to understand and speak Turkish, but classmates and teachers greet new foreign friends and classmates with great interest and attention.
But now we would like to discuss private educational institutions in more detail.
First of all, it should be noted that Antalya has two educational institutions where teaching is conducted in Russian and children receive a Russian-style diploma:
Private Moscow International School - moskovaokulu.com
It is located in the Guzeloba district, Lara. Training takes place under Russian state-recognized programs. English and Turkish are studied from the first grade. After school, after-school groups, creative and sports clubs work. A private Moscow international school in Antalya conducts the educational process in accordance with the levels of educational programs for primary, basic general and secondary (full) general education (I, II, III levels of study). Education at this school ends with the Unified State Exam exam in Russia, which, as usual, results in admission to higher education
institutions.
Eduant International Russian School - rusokulu.ru
This school is located in Sarisu District, Konyaalti. It is licensed by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Turkey, and compliance with Russian education standards has been confirmed by the Russian Center for Independent Assessment of Educational Quality. Children from families living in other cities are provided with accommodation in a comfortable hotel under the supervision of educational guardians
.Upon graduation, graduates receive diplomas from the Turkish Ministry of Education, and everyone can take the Unified State Examination of the Russian Federation and obtain a Russian secondary education certificate.
If we talk about Turkish private colleges in Antalya, we would like to highlight those schools that offer really high-quality education, as well as the best teaching methods:
Antalya Private College - antalyakoleji.k12.tr
This college has branches in Lara and Konyaalti districts. Once you visit the site, you can take a virtual walk around the college and see its campuses.

Toplum College Antalya (the previous and better known name is İCCA English School) - antalyatoplumkoleji.com
The college is located in the Dosemealti district of Antalya. Previously, this school had the status of an International English School; the school was licensed precisely because of its international status (this means that most children with foreign passports and children of Turkish citizens could study there, and only a limited number. Teaching was conducted entirely in English according to UK education standards. At the moment, the school has been renamed, a new detached campus has been built, and the school's license status has been changed - now education is conducted according to Turkish educational standards, but is still in English. Training is available to everyone.
In secondary school, other foreign languages (German, French, Russian) are added to study, and the program follows the Cambridge University program (grades 6-9), and language proficiency exams are taken with a certificate of the appropriate level (Cambridge English Scale).Upon graduation from high school, those wishing to obtain both a Turkish diploma (MEB) and an international standard will take the International Certificate of General Secondary Education (IGCSE) exam in grades 9 and 10 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) in grades 11 and 12.
