Middle East Technical University Development Foundation Schools (METU DFS) is a network of educational institutions in Turkey that provides primary, middle, and high school education. Established in 1989, the schools are committed to a contemporary and innovative educational philosophy.

Teaching approach

The schools are guided by the principles and revolutions of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, aiming to create an environment where inspiring, caring teachers foster engaged and motivated students. The educational approach encourages students to inquire, think critically, create, and develop into lifelong learners who contribute to a modern democratic society. Furthermore, the institution emphasizes respect for individual and cultural differences, helping students develop a global perspective while maintaining an appreciation for their own cultural identity.

Programmes

The academic programme emphasizes proficiency in both the mother tongue, Turkish, and the foreign language, English. The curriculum is designed to provide a rigorous learning environment that prepares students for success in competitive universities and for future contributions to their community and the world. The schools serve students from primary through high school levels.
