TED Zonguldak College

The school operates on democratic and secular principles in line with the ideals of Atatürk. It aims to cultivate "world citizens" who possess a strong sense of belonging, protect their cultural heritage, and demonstrate high-level thinking skills. The institution emphasizes an individualized, student-centered approach that integrates technology and teacher guidance to foster a lifelong love of learning.

The school offers a comprehensive curriculum spanning preschool, primary, middle, and high school levels. Specialized programs include the Cambridge IGCSE, the Advanced Placement (AP) program, the BTEC vocational model, and the Science Scientist Training Program (BİYP). Additionally, the school provides the International Diploma Program (UBDP) and participates in the TED-Canada Student Exchange Program, with English instruction integrated into core subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics.

Graduates are prepared for both national and international higher education pathways, with many students achieving success in university entrance exams (TYT-AYT). The school's programs, such as the Science Scientist Training Program (BİYP), UBDP, and AP, provide students with opportunities for advanced academic standing and scholarships at prestigious universities. Students also gain international certifications through programs like IGCSE and BTEC.

The school maintains a Psychological Counseling and Guidance (PDR) unit that supports students throughout their academic journey. This unit is involved in the admissions process, student interviews, and ongoing developmental monitoring. Additionally, the school employs specialized units for measurement and evaluation, program development, and project coordination to ensure individualized student support.

The school accepts students through a combination of entrance examinations and interviews conducted by psychological counseling and guidance (PDR) specialists. For preschool, children must be at least 36 months old and toilet trained. Admissions for primary, middle, and high school levels are subject to available quotas, with specific entrance exam score thresholds and, in the case of high school, LGS results. Horizontal transfers for 11th and 12th grades are restricted exclusively to students from other TED schools.

The academic year follows a structured schedule including national holidays, commemorative programs, and exam periods. The school organizes various events such as science workshops, student camps, and cultural celebrations. Parents can access specific meeting days and event details through the school's interactive calendar and parent portal.

The campus features multiple building groups, green spaces, playgrounds, and sports facilities. Classrooms are equipped with computers, projectors, and internet access, with electronic classrooms featuring smart boards. The school also provides library services, workshops, health services, and dining facilities.

Students participate in a variety of student clubs, sports, and cultural activities designed to foster creativity and social development. Offerings include swimming programs, dance performances, and oratorical events. The school also engages in national and international projects, including student exchange programs and science-focused workshops.
