Al-Faezoun Modern School — Istanbul (+ Ankara branch)

Al-Faezoun Modern School is one of the leading private schools in Turkey, operating two branches — one in Istanbul and another in Ankara. It is a Libyan school accredited by Turkey's Ministry of National Education (MEB) and teaches the Libyan Arabic curriculum to its students.

Two-city presence: Having branches in both Istanbul and Ankara is a notable distinction — it allows families relocating between these two major Turkish cities to maintain educational continuity for their children without changing schools.

Educational focus — character and values: Al-Faezoun pays special attention to:

• Strengthening students' personalities
• Enriching the human spirit
• Instilling Islamic values within a stimulating and inspiring learning environment

Talent and arts development: The school supports and develops students' talents across multiple domains:

• Drawing and visual arts
• Performing arts
• Sports

This focus on arts and sports — alongside academic rigour — produces well-rounded students.

Educational mission: The school aims to produce educated, cultured, and influential students in their local and international societies.

Teaching staff: All overseen by a distinguished educational and teaching staff with high competence and academic qualifications.

Grade levels: Verify current grade availability with the school for the specific branch (Istanbul or Ankara).

Languages of instruction: Arabic (primary, Libyan curriculum), with English and Turkish as supplementary languages.

Annual fees: In line with Libyan and Arab-curriculum schools in Turkey, expect a range of approximately $2,500–6,000 USD per year depending on grade level and branch. Sibling discounts and installment plans typically available — contact the school for current figures.

Recognition: MEB-licensed in Turkey. The Libyan curriculum should be verified directly with the school for current accreditation with Libyan authorities — important for families planning to return to Libya.

What to verify before enrolment: Current MEB license, current accreditation status with the Libyan Ministry of Education, available grade levels at the specific branch, language placement, and transportation routes from your district.
