Board of Trustees

The Istanbul International Community School is a dynamic, forward-looking learning organization committed to our mission statement of developing independent learners and international citizens. The school is a vibrant community in which students, teachers, staff, parents, leadership and the Board work together towards the achievement of a common mission and goals. As stewards of the school’s long-term future, the Board of Trustees holds the primary responsibility for the development of the school’s mission, and for the strategic planning that will ensure the achievement of that mission, in close collaboration with the school’s leadership.
