Touching the Lives of Children in Need by Heart

Darüşşafaka is Turkey’s first private school opened by a non-governmental organization. It gives
an opportunity of quality education to underprivileged students whose mothers and, or fathers
are deceased. It has undertaken the mission of changing lives through education and provided a
modern education for thousands of students since 1863. After the graduation from high school, it
also provides the students who continue their education in university with a scholarship.

Darüşşafaka adopts the idea that the
development of any country depends on
the development of its people. Thus, the
foundation aims to raise individuals who
are adherent to Atatürk principles, life-long
learners, inquirers, modern, self confident
and responsible for the society.

Only the students who have passed the
Darüşşafaka admission examination are accepted by the schools. And, today, there are around
1000 students who are having education at Darüşşafaka Schools in Maslak with a full scholarship for
boarding education, for a period of 9 years. In order to bring up well raised individuals, Darüşşafaka
schools provide their students with various social and cultural activities and use English as the
official education language.
