British Embassy School Ankara of

Ankara

British Embassy School Ankara (BESA) is a British school following the National Curriculum of England and Wales and the International Middle Years Curriculum, based in the grounds of the British Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. We are a co-educational school with around 22 children aged between 3 and 16, representing nearly 30 countries. We are known as a friendly and caring British school, which values a holistic approach to education. British Embassy School Ankara is a learning community where the academic and personal development of each child is at the heart of everything we do. Learning is focused on the development of skills throughout the school using curricula that support the children’s abilities to apply the knowledge they acquire in new and practical ways to deepen their understanding. From our Nursery class through to our Year 11 students, the thematic approach to learning provides a context that makes learning accessible yet challenging to children and young adults growing up in our diverse international community. The rigour of the British Curriculum in English and Mathematics combines with international curricula to ensure that children make excellent academic progress at BESA, taking creative risks whilst supported by outstanding teaching and high quality learning environments. We commit to enabling children to leave our school not only having made outstanding progress but as global citizens who have the confidence to lead with creativity, integrity and a passion for their chosen pursuits.
