Building Strong Foundations. Inspiring Future Leaders.

At Turkish International School, our curriculum is designed to offer a structured, progressive, and enriching academic journey from early years through senior school. We integrate international best practices, technology, and cultural values to ensure each child is holistically prepared — intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of our curriculum structure:

Preschool (Early Years Foundation Stage)

Age Group: 2.5 – 5.5 years

In the foundational years, we adopt a play-based, inquiry-driven model inspired by global early childhood education frameworks, including the EYFS (UK) and Montessori principles. Our Preschool program emphasizes:

  • Language development (English, Urdu, basic Turkish exposure)
  • Cognitive and sensory exploration
  • Motor skills development
  • Emotional and social learning
  • Introduction to Islamic values through stories and activities

Children engage in thematic learning centers, hands-on experiences, and guided play — laying the groundwork for confident, curious learners.

Primary & Middle School (Grades 1–8)

Academic Path: Blending Cambridge and National Curriculum

In Grades 1 through 8, our focus shifts to building strong literacy, numeracy, and conceptual understanding across key disciplines. The academic structure includes:

  • English, Urdu, Mathematics, Science
  • Social Studies / History & Geography
  • Islamic Studies & Quranic learning
  • Computer Science & Digital Literacy
  • Turkish Language & Culture
  • Art, Physical Education, and Life Skills

Project-based learning, student-led inquiry, and 21st-century skills like collaboration and problem-solving are embedded throughout.

We offer flexibility for students to later transition into either Cambridge O-Level or Matriculation (BISE) streams, based on aptitude and future goals.

Senior School: O-Level / Matric Stream (Grades 9–11/12)

At this stage, students enter a focused academic pathway aligned with their chosen stream:

  • English Language
  • Mathematics
  • Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
  • Business, ICT, Economics
  • Global Perspectives / Environmental Management
  • Islamiat & Pakistan Studies (localized content)
