About Us

In Çayyolu since 1998

The story, values and figures of Menekşe Vadisi College.

Menekşe Vadisi College opened in 1998 as a small primary school with 84 students in Çayyolu. Today we teach from kindergarten to high school, with 1,850 students and 140 teachers on three campuses. The principle from our founding has never changed: children learn when they are curious.

Our values

  • Curiosity: Asking questions comes before finding answers.
  • Creativity: We turn knowledge into something usable through projects, workshops and performance.
  • Respect and empathy: We build a classroom culture that values difference.
  • Responsibility: Students take responsibility for their own learning, their surroundings and society.

Structure of the school

We teach at kindergarten (36-72 months), primary, middle and high school levels (Anatolian High School, Science High School and a double-diploma programme). We deliver the national curriculum (MEB) with a complementary enrichment programme; foreign language, science and arts hours are fixed at all stages. Our school is a licensed private educational institution under the Ministry of National Education and is subject to inspection.

Our school in numbers

  • 3 campuses, 140 teachers, 9 counsellors
  • Class size: 16 in kindergarten, 22 in primary, 24 in middle school, at most 26 in high school
  • More than 40 clubs and 12 sports branches

Partnership with families

Parents are involved in the education process through at least two individual meetings, a seminar and a project day each term. The Parent-Teacher Association manages event and scholarship funds transparently.
