MEF Philosophy

MEF Schools do not only provide information to students in order to achieve the values stated in its vision, mission and aims, they have also adopted the principles of applying a student-centered system that "teaches students to learn” by providing “mastery learning” and “learning-by-doing-and-experiencing” methods, which enable students to understand, apply, analyze and evaluate the information they have acquired, and to put it to use in creative, practical ways.

Within the framework of the aforementioned philosophy and in accordance with the mission of the institution:

MEF Schools established and started education in Istanbul on September 1, 1996 with Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary and High School, and in 1998 with the International School. In the 2004-2005 school year, MEF International School was opened in Izmir.

Since the 2011-2012 academic year, the previously opened kindergarten and primary school have started to operate in the new building of the institution.

With over 300 teaching staff and more than 2000 students, and with its International Schools in Izmir and Istanbul, MEF Educational Institutions are one the largest educational groups in the field, and the MEF International School in Izmir is the only international school in the city.
