In our school social sciences are viewed as enlightening the past, present, and future and providing guidance to the solution of current and potential problems; thus, activities are planned in this regard.
Our Goals
We aim to enable our students to:

- adopt democratic values as lifestyle;
- build bridges developing feelings of friendship and peace instead of dividing nations, and to approach others’ beliefs and lives with tolerance;
- comprehend the basic elements and processes that make up the Turkish culture and history and to strive for the protection and development of the cultural heritage;
