Adapazarı ENKA Schools were established in rapid response to aid the area’s community following the massive destruction incurred by the 1999 earthquake. Adapazarı ENKA Schools support the holistic development of our students through both national and international curricula bolstered by sports, arts, and cultural programs. From kindergarten through grade 12, Adapazarı ENKA Schools aim to develop inquisitive, creative, and internationally-minded individuals who respect differences and employ critical thinking skills in all disciplines by providing equal opportunities to everyone. Adapazarı ENKA Schools aspires for its students to be lifelong learners and innovators, aware of social problems and active in helping to resolve them. In line with its mission and philosophy, Adapazarı ENKA Schools implement the Turkish Ministry of Education national curriculum as well as the International Baccalaureate curriculum via the IB Primary Years Program in the primary school, and the Middle Years Program (MYP) in the middle school and up through grades 10 and 11 in high school. Each year a number of students are selected to international exchange programs such as NCA and AFS to continue their education abroad. With a total of 76 clubs, after school activities, and sports teams, our students represent Adapazarı ENKA Schools throughout Turkey and internationally.
