Hi, I just registered and tried to send a message through the contact page but it was returned. I am looking for an international secondary school in Elazig for Year 7 (the last year completed in the UK was Year 6). I have tried online searches and have sent a message to one school but I believe that the instruction will be in Turkish (as confirmed on this site); I am looking for a school that will teach in English all subjects and include Turkish language as part of the curriculum. Thank you and kind regards.
Two popular options you can look at are Istanbul International Community School (ages 3 to 18) and the British International School (ages 2.5 to 18). You can also have a look at this page on Education and Schools in Turkey.
Let me know if you need any further info?

I think you're out of luck there - as far as I know all public schools in Turkey teach only in Turkish. Some may teach English as a second language subject but the rest of the teaching would all be in Turkish. If wanting to send your child to an English-speaking school I think your only option would be one of Turkey's international schools.
What nationality are you and your child? Are you moving to Turkey for work? If so, you might be able to negotiate an allowance for international school fees as part of your relocation package. For more info on international schools, see Education and Schools in Turkey.
