To raise "globally-minded" individuals.

The English School of Istanbul
Courses / Programs
Conveniently located close to the center of Istanbul, Turkey, the English School of Istanbul (ESI) is a modern preschool offering an international curriculum in a bilingual environment for children ages 3-6 in a state of the art learning environment.

Each class has a fully qualified and experienced British teacher, as well as a bilingual teaching assistant. The school has been developed by an experienced team of international educators as a center for learning where children are encouraged to reach their potential while using their natural curiosity and creativity.

We seek to develop the language skills of our students to the level of bi-lingualism (English & Turkish) and later, multi-lingualism. The younger a child begins his or her bilingual education, the more bilingual they are likely to become.

We encourage our boys and girls to reach their personal and academic potential whilst nurturing their curiosity and encouraging individuality and creative thought. The English School of Istanbul’s ethos is caring, student-centred and international.
International Preschool Curriculum for Boys & Girls ages 3-6:

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
The EYFS framework sets the UK standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to five. The curriculum is built around four principles:

- A Unique Child
- Positive Relationships
- Enabling Environments
- Learning and Development
