Why UKEB?

New-generation programmes that drive academic success

Five original programmes that go beyond the textbook.

Mind & ScienceA science programme built on learning by doing.

Research, inquiry and project work support scientific and creative thinking. In classrooms, workshops, laboratories and natural settings, students investigate, evaluate evidence and connect their observations with scientific explanations.

YETMERTalent discovery centre: science, technology, engineering, art and maths.

YETMER brings science, technology, engineering, art and maths together through hands-on learning. Students explore materials, discuss ideas and work together on solutions. The programme turns academic knowledge into experience while supporting independent learning, strategic thinking and planned work.

USLOOPA programme of personal development and good manners.

Integrated into the weekly timetable, USLOOP supports confidence and social development. Through manners, courtesy, dress, posture and speech activities, students practise self-expression, respectful relationships and habits they can carry throughout life.

UKEB LIFEBrings professionals from many fields together with our students.

Guests from different professions share their working lives and experiences directly with students. Students ask questions, discover different aspects of each profession and explore their interests. These meetings broaden their view of the future and support listening skills.

SOSA programme built around health, play and sport.

SOS combines health, play and sport to give students an active start to the day. Stretching, games and rhythmic dance prepare their bodies and minds for lessons. Led by the Physical Education Department, these activities support physical and social development.

What our graduates say

UKEB has added so much to my life. Unlike other schools, it values behaviour as much as academics. And because classes are small, I have a close relationship with all my friends, and I love every one of them.
Azra CandoğanGraduate
UKEB let me spend four happy years, finish middle school with my friends from primary school and make wonderful new friendships. I am also very happy to have spent those four years with people who always welcomed and supported me.
Azra KaraGraduate
UKEB left much better marks on my life than my previous schools. Both because of my teachers and my dear friends, I was much happier than I had been at my previous schools.
