Our high school was established in the 2014-2015 academic year. It is a school that aims to raise world citizens who are self-confident, inquiring, have a scientific point of view, are sensitive to social and environmental problems, speak more than one foreign language (German-English), and use technology effectively.

Accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB) in March 2017, it became the first GIB-DP (Gemischtsprachiges International Baccalaureate) school in the Turkish National Education System. In addition, IELEV Private High School was accredited as a German Foreign School (DAS-Deutsche Ausland Schule) on April 5, 2017, with the signatures signed at the Consulate General of the German Federal Republic in Istanbul, subject to a special status by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Thus, it has taken its place among 140 schools in the world with this status.

The education period at IELEV Private High School is 5 years, and it is essential that all students enrolled in our high school attend the Preparatory Class before their 4-year high school education. Our school, which provides education in three languages, has both German and English preparatory classes, and with this feature, it has broken a new ground in Turkey. Although the GIB-Diploma Program is implemented in the last 2 years of high school, all our students receive education at all levels within the framework of the educational philosophy of the International Baccalaureate Organization, starting from the Preparatory Class.

Mozart - The Opera - Abduction From The Palace

On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, we returned to artistic activities, which we weren’t able to do due to social distancing regulations and quarantine caused by the pandemic. We went to see Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera in three acts, “Abduction from the Palace” at the Süreyya Opera House in a magnificent atmosphere. With this cultural activity, the IELEV family was brought together. Thanks to this experience, we had the chance to set aside our individual difficulties, societal problems, and the general burden of life. We found peace in the magical atmosphere of art even if it lasted just a few hours. We aim to come together more often and meet in different events to strengthen our community with art.
