Özel Minecan Anaokulu ve İlkokulu (Minecan Kindergarten and Primary School)

The school operates under the principle of "Difference in Education," with a core belief that "everyone should feel valuable." It aims to cultivate happy, lifelong learners who are grounded in Atatürk’s principles and national values while maintaining an international perspective. The educational community emphasizes the development of students who are inquisitive, knowledgeable, caring, and capable of viewing events from multiple perspectives.

The school offers a K-12 curriculum that integrates the Turkish Ministry of National Education requirements with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). The academic pathway includes preschool, primary school, and middle school, with a strong emphasis on inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and the development of ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills. Students participate in portfolio presentations and, in the fourth grade, complete a PYP Exhibition that synthesizes their learning and encourages community action. Foreign language instruction includes English, German, and French.

The school is an authorized IB PYP World School, a status achieved in 2019. Students demonstrate academic success in international assessments, including Cambridge English Qualifications and DELF examinations, frequently performing above regional and national averages. Graduates are prepared to be lifelong learners, global citizens, and individuals who possess the skills to make a positive impact on their communities.

The school maintains a dedicated Guidance Department that operates on the principle that every child is unique. The department adopts Dr. Özgür Bolat’s "reward-free and punishment-free" educational approach to support the emotional and social development of students.
