Languages
Özel Maltepe Gökyüzü Eğitim Kurumları is a private co-educational school in Maltepe, Istanbul, providing education from kindergarten through to Anatolian high school. Established in 1997, the school combines national, spiritual, and universal values with a modern, technology-integrated curriculum.
Curriculum
Teaching approach
The school operates under a "Child-Centered Education Model" that treats each student as a unique individual and the active subject of their own learning journey. Its core mission is to raise "good human beings" by balancing academic success with character development, emotional intelligence, and environmental awareness. This commitment to sustainability is reflected in its various eco-accreditations, including Eco-Schools, Green Flag, and EU Blue Flag.
Programmes
The academic offering is based on the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MEB) curriculum, enriched with STEM, robotics, coding, and the Harezmi Education Model. Foreign language instruction begins at an early age, featuring English and Spanish as a second foreign language. The curriculum spans four distinct stages: kindergarten (Anaokulu), primary school (İlkokul), middle school (Ortaokul), and Anatolian high school (Anadolu Lisesi).
Outcomes
Graduates of the school are prepared to be self-confident, productive individuals who contribute to society both in Turkey and internationally. Student achievements include local sports successes, such as securing fourth place in the Maltepe School Sports Table Tennis Tournament.
Student support
Learning support
The school provides comprehensive guidance through the Gökyüzü Emotional Education Center (GÖKDEM), which works alongside the Psychological Counseling and Guidance (PDR) department to support emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-regulation. Additionally, the Gökyüzü Talent Research Center (GÖKYAM) scientifically assesses students' cognitive, artistic, and athletic abilities to design personalized learning maps. Individualized academic support and one-on-one tutoring plans are also available to address specific learning needs.
