The Forest Middle School starts in grade 5 and ends in grade 8. We have 1 class per grade, limited to 20 students.
Middle school lessons are taught in a subject-classroom system; students move to different classrooms according to their lessons. Primary and middle school students have their lessons in the main building, and subject lessons are held in classrooms on the campus that are separate from the building and in outdoor classrooms.
During middle school, our students are accompanied from grade 5 by teachers experienced in their fields who prepare them for the LGS exam process, supported by study sessions.
Our school is affiliated with the Ministry of National Education (MEB), and teaching follows the curriculum set by the Ministry.
Yes. At our school, which aims to raise citizens of the world, there is a strong, structured foreign language programme. Our English teachers are native speakers and graduates of an English language teaching degree.
The school is open from 07:45 to 17:00. Lessons begin at 09:00 and end at 16:00. As our school is affiliated with MEB, the MEB academic calendar applies.

Meals are prepared in the kitchen of the main building by our school cooks, with the taste of home cooking. There is no canteen; care is taken to provide natural, seasonal food. Students also take part in production in the school vegetable garden.
In our educational approach, students' interaction with one another, with their teachers and with nature, and working with real materials, come first. In addition, art, music, philosophy, sport and IT lessons and practical life activities complete the programme. In the technology and science clubs, work is done on 3D design, Arduino, software and artificial intelligence.

According to our school's approach, children meeting many variables in a nature that changes every day makes it easier for them to adapt to different situations. The strong character traits of forest-school students support their adjustment to changing conditions.
