History of Darüşşafaka

Veteran Ahmet Muhtar Pasha, Vidinli Tevfik Pasha, Sakizli Ahmet Esat Pasha and Ali Nâki Efendi
established the foundation under the leadership of Yusuf Ziya Pasha, who was a great mathematician,
soldier and politician of his time.
The reason why it was founded was to provide resources for the education of craftsmen at the Grand
Bazaar. At first, the foundation restored old Valide Mektebi in Beyazıt in 1863 and used it as a school
for years. But, the original school building was
designed by Italian architect Barironi and Ohannes
Kalfa, the architect of Dolmabahçe Palace, and
was constructed in Fatih, İstanbul. Equipped
with the latest technology, the school opened its
doors on June 29, 1873 as a private, boarding
and non-profit school. 120 years later, in 1994,
Darüşşafaka moved from its historical campus in
Fatih to its new and modern campus in Maslak.
At first, Darüşşafaka accepted students whose
fathers were deceased for 149 years. After the
amendment in the law in 2012, students with
deceased mothers could also be accepted. Thus,
for the first time in 2012-2013 academic year,
students whose mothers were deceased joined Darüşşafaka schools.
Because of its mission, many organizations, foundations and important individuals have supported
Darüşşafaka by donating money, participating in the charity organizations or promoting its campaigns
since the day it opened its doors to educate. Moreover, some notable soldiers, noted poets, authors,
scholars and artists volunteered to teach at Darüşşafaka from time to time. Some of them were Namık
Kemal, Agah Efendi, Ahmet Mithat, Salih Zeki and Yahya Kemal Beyatlı.
