Academic Enrichment Activities

As part of program development and enrichment efforts, our school closely follows innovations and advancements in the field of education. Collaborations are established with leading universities in Turkey, and program studies and teacher training are conducted with expert academics.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics)
The STEAM approach brings together various disciplines to foster higher-order thinking skills in students. It supports students in critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity while preparing them for real-life challenges through realistic, collaborative experiences.
Through interdisciplinary studies, students not only acquire knowledge about specific subjects but also learn how to observe, research, and analyze effectively.

PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, Successive)
PASS theory is a learning model based on the functional structure of the brain, defining intelligence as consisting of planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive cognitive processes. By integrating activities designed according to PASS theory into the preschool curriculum, children’s natural development processes are supported, and the foundation for academic skills needed in primary school is established.
In our preschool and kindergarten classes, activities aligned with the PASS approach are used to develop cognitive skills such as attention, memory, sequential processing, and simultaneous processing.

Philosophy for Children (P4C)
Philosophy for Children (P4C) is one of the most widely applied progressive teaching methods globally in recent years. The goal of this method is to encourage students to think critically about a subject, uncover assumptions behind their thoughts, understand the reasoning behind others' perspectives, listen to opposing views, and establish connections between different ideas.
Throughout the year, P4C lessons are conducted with our kindergarten students in line with this approach.

Creative Drama
Creative Drama is a significant teaching method in preschool education, supporting both the social and cognitive development of students. It provides opportunities for students to use their imagination, develop empathy, and enhance problem-solving skills. Drama activities help children express their emotions, see from others' perspectives, and experience different roles. Additionally, it fosters teamwork, strengthens communication skills, and builds self-confidence.
With guidance from expert academics, a Creative Drama Program is developed and integrated into lessons by our preschool teachers. Creative Drama lessons are conducted throughout the year to enrich the learning experience.
