Welcome to Istanbul International Community School

Istanbul International Community School is an International Baccalaureate School in Istanbul. Founded in 1911 to educate the children of the Robert College faculty, the school has maintained a century-long tradition of academic excellence. Istanbul International Community School is an independent, co-educational day school, offering a full IB program from pre-kindergarten (ages 3) to Grade 12 (ages 18) for international students (holders of non-Turkish passports).

University Acceptances

At IICS, we are very proud of our strong record of university acceptances and our tradition of 100% university attendance. While we are naturally gratified that our graduates attend some of the world’s most prestigious universities, what we find most rewarding is that all of our alumni are able to attend universities geared to their unique interests, abilities and needs. What makes that possible is the exceptional level of personal attention provided by our college counseling team. Our counselors take the time to get to know each student personally, identify the type of university that is right for them and then make the most of their network of contacts at universities worldwide, as well as IICS’s century-long reputation for excellence to ensure that our students are placed at schools that will help them grow and excel.

Co-Curriculum Activities

Co-Curricular Activities are an important part of our program at IICS. These activities allow students the opportunity to utilize their talents and motivate different learning styles to help foster the whole child and develop a balanced lifestyle.

It is essential for all our students, from Primary years onwards, to be involved in the wide variety of co-curricular activities for their development. Team set-ups and physical education are helping them to prepare for CEESA teams in Middle School to carry that through High School for college applications. There are also other activity options that would allow the students to relax and spend time with friends from different age groups.

Admissions

Moving to a new school and a new country is a major change. Our Director of Admissions at Istanbul International Community School, Zeliha Öztürk, is happy to answer your questions about IICS, about living in Istanbul, relocation, or any of your schooling concerns.
