Oğuzhan Özkaya Education Institutions, recognized as a qualified educational institution that has proven its quality through national and international projects, serves the Turkish Youth entrusted to it. Our institution educates its students in line with fundamental human values and implements continuously renewing educational projects.
Every Student is Special
At Oğuzhan Özkaya Education Institutions, every student is special, and according to us, there is no student who cannot succeed when approached correctly. Oğuzhan Özkaya Education Institutions works to nurture young people who are at peace with their environment and nature, love their country and people, and live with the passion to serve their country and people, through student-centered education and activities, opening the way for students to discover their talents.
Our fundamental goal is to nurture young people who make learning and applying what they learn a source of happiness by leading the way in accessing knowledge through teachers, national and international publications, media, etc. We set out to nurture sensitive, consistent, happy, and successful people in the hands of teachers who see and show education not as a coercion imposed through parents and environment in the young person's mind, but as a voluntary tool of awareness, knowledge, change, and enlightenment, and we can proudly say today that we have made great progress in this regard.
Questioning, Inquiring Generations
We aim to nurture generations who ask questions, inquire, do not blindly follow, examine, analyze, and value science and culture. Parents and we teachers attach importance to our children's school success; we provide the best educational conditions for them and strive for the formation of a modern educational understanding that awakens the desire to learn in them, opens the doors of intellectual accumulation, activates their consciousness, and enables them to find answers to questions about themselves and the world surrounding them.
Every Student is a Unique Individual
In our educational understanding, we never forget the fact that every student is a "unique" individual. Based on this truth, we treat each student separately and show separate care and attention to each one. We desire to evaluate all of the young person's talents rather than limiting them to just one school dimension. Our educational process directs our students to take on responsibilities that enable their universal opening to the world.
Our Educational Staff
We attach great importance to our educational staff consisting of idealistic, humanistic people with the highest sense of responsibility, aware of the duties that being an educator imposes on them. In this framework, our institution offers an educational understanding that includes the complete and balanced teaching of scientific, cultural, linguistic, physical, moral, and contemporary values.
What is essential for us is to enable everyone's humane development.
Experimental Approach and Language Programs
Our schools that prioritize the experimental approach direct our young people to establish a connection between theoretical knowledge and real life and adopt an analytical thinking style, thanks to cultural and scientific activities that enable our students to be self-sufficient individuals who realize their own projects without giving up their dreams. Special studies are being carried out at our institution to nurture 21st-century individuals with international language programs including Turkish as well as English and German.
With our understanding that adopts a critical perspective, analyzes cause-effect relationships, and emphasizes the importance of scientificity, we work by keeping our students away from a purely memorization-based system and implementing methods that develop their knowledge and skills and direct them to research.
Adaptation to a Constantly Evolving World
Our school has taken it as its duty to enable our children to adapt to a constantly evolving world where thinking styles change, to research and find the most effective conditions for knowledge acquisition, to work together on the path to personal development and preparation for work life, and to provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
We offer paths that will safely carry our students into the future by shaping life routes in cooperation with our parents.
Today's children think differently from us and grow up with technological developments and digital miracles. Our school prepares our children who will live in the new millennium for the future.
Planning the Future
Today, everything changes and develops so rapidly that it is impossible for education and children not to be affected by this change. When we think that a child who starts first grade at the age of 6 today will graduate from university around 2031 and retire in 2074, it will not be easy for us to predict what kind of world awaits them.
Perhaps we are educating our children to work in jobs that do not yet exist, to use technologies that have not yet been invented, and to solve problems we do not know about. For this reason, we know that we need to plan our children's education not according to the era we live in, but according to the time they will live in, and that we are actually planning not only their education but also our country's future.
Our Teachers
Teachers who are always with students, who are the reason for existence and the main subject of education in our institutions, who work to give them the best education, and who serve as models for students to follow, work in our institutions.
While fulfilling our duty, we never forget this: Academic education is only important if it helps your children become more human.
Making a Difference
We are educators, and our goal in all circumstances is to teach, to make a difference domestically and internationally with these children entrusted to us on the basis of trust. We work and will work with dedication for this. We also aim to set an example for the young people entrusted to us for their education with this attitude of ours.
As Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, said:
"We need nothing, we only need one thing: to be hardworking!"
With respect and love…
