Tarsus SEV Schools

Tarsus SEV Elementary and Middle School, governed by the Health and Education Foundation has a long-established experience in Turkish education. We are the sister school of Tarsus American College.

Tarsus SEV Elementary and Middle School is under the umbrella of both a prominent foundation and Tarsus American College, one of the benchmarks of Turkish education. Our goal at Tarsus SEV, which is the embodiment of an educational experience of almost two centuries, is to raise global citizens.

As stated in our mission statement, our goal is to contribute to the growth of individuals who combine self-confidence with a firm sense of personal, social, and environmental responsibility. We aim to enable our students to be lifelong learners, and efficient communicators, who have developed skills, accountability, and attitudes for leading a fulfilling life and for serving their country and humanity.

In order to raise individuals who demonstrate self-confidence and commitment to being global citizens, we offer education at international standards. The academic programs at our school, accredited by the CIS (Council of International Schools), are student centered. Our strong teaching staffsupport the personal development of our students with consideration of their learning performances, individual differences and interests, and help them in building various skills. During the learning process, our students are encouraged to be good team players and collaborators.

In order to reach our goals, we offer an enrichment program where we provide many opportunities to students to participate in and to host national and international events.

Particularly in English education, we offer many enriching experiences. Beginning from the Kindergarten level, our strong and intensive English curriculum allows students to acquire a “second native language” as they interact with native English speaking international teachers.

Under the care of teachers who come from different countries and cultural backgrounds, students are involved in various bilingual activities and benefit from a rewarding educational experience. A natural English language immersion is provided in classrooms where students use the language actively and develop English skills as if it is their native language. Language learning is reinforced by French and German offered as a second foreign language.

The social experiences we use as a tool to prepare our students for life, to improve their self-confidence and sense of personal and social responsibility sets Tarsus SEV apart from other schools. In the journey of self-discovery and students’ exploration of their interests and talents, rich variety of clubs and committees, extra-curricular activities, and community service initiatives which raise the awareness of helping the less fortunate comprise the rich social life of Tarsus SEV.

English teachers as well as educators of other subjects can find teaching opportunities in Turkey, Tarsus.
