The Turkish Education Association's torch in Polatlı
TED Polatlı College opened in the 1997-1998 academic year. Today we educate students in four divisions, from kindergarten to high school, on a single campus.
Our school was founded to bring to Polatlı the educational approach of the Turkish Education Association, established in 1928 on the initiative of Atatürk.
Our beginnings
TED Polatlı College began teaching in the 1997-1998 academic year as the Turkish Education Association's school in Polatlı. Since then it has educated the children of the district and its surroundings drawing on the Association's nearly a century of experience.
Kindergarten, primary, middle and high school share one campus. Students grow up without changing schools, with teachers and friends they know, and parents work with a single school administration.
Our approach to education
As in all Turkish Education Association schools, our aim is to raise generations committed to Atatürk's principles and reforms, free in thought, free in conscience and free in knowledge. We value academic achievement, but never apart from character, the arts, sport and social responsibility.
- Foreign language education begins early; a second foreign language is taught from middle school.
- Students are monitored regularly by our measurement and assessment unit, and results are shared with parents.
- Psychological counselling and guidance continues without interruption from kindergarten to high school.
- Sport, music, visual arts and club work are a natural part of the curriculum.
Our mission
In line with the values of the Turkish Education Association, to raise individuals who are committed to national and universal values, use at least one foreign language effectively, research and question, are self-confident and take responsibility for society.
Our vision
To be the first school people in Polatlı and the surrounding region think of for the quality of its education, and to see our graduates succeed at leading universities and in professional life in Türkiye and abroad.
