NÛN Middle School
The first step in the NÛN Middle School student admission process is an academic exam. The school predetermines the exam dates. These dates are announced via the school's official website and social media accounts. In order to apply for the exam, it is necessary to fill in the online application form. International prospective students applying to NÛN Middle School must be proficient in either Turkish or English at native level.
In the academic exam held on certain dates, the following skills of the candidate students are measured in addition to their command of the current curriculum: analysis-synthesis, reading comprehension and expressing their thoughts in their own words; reading, interpreting and inferring information given by graphics, tables and/or maps. Depending on the preference of our international prospective students, the academic exam language may be Turkish or English. An informative school promotion program is organized for parents while the prospective student is in the exam. In the program, NÛN School Administrators share information on the school's philosophy and answer prospective parents' questions.
NÛN Schools' guidance unit arranges meetings with prospective parents and students who pass the exam successfully. This simultaneous evaluation process results positively if the parents have the tendency to cooperate, coordinate, and are aware of the importance of education and training. If the parents have requested a scholarship, they will come together with the foundation managers and conduct another interview.
NÛN Schools believes in the education continuum and that it is a whole approach given anywhere and anytime. Thus, our school attaches high importance to the positive effect of the cooperation between the parent and the school on students. According to the philosophy of NÛN Schools, the parent must be responsible and devoted as much as the students. Therefore, the parents, among students, are also included in the acquaintance process, which guidance teachers and psychologists hold. With the positive result of this process, the prospective student is entitled to enrol in our school. Scholarship opportunity for newly registered students is valid at the 5th grade of middle school.
Students from abroad or from an international school in Turkey must obtain an Equivalency Certificate in order to enroll in schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Turkey Since NÛN Schools is affiliated to the Ministry of National Education of Turkey, students must obtain a Certificate of Equivalence in order to complete the registration. The Equivalence Certificate can be obtained from the Turkish Consulate or the Equivalence Centers of the Ministry of National Education in Turkey.
Turkish is the primary language of instruction at NÛN Middle School, with English offered as a secondary language. Therefore, international students who do not meet the required language proficiency level must complete a one-year Turkish preparatory course.
Students must have a residence permit or a Turkish Republic identification number in order to be enrolled in a school. Due to the fact that schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education of Turkey have a 30% international student capacity, student recruitment will be carried out within the quota.
