How would you rate Bilkent Laboratory & International School?
It is amazing to read some of the negative commentary about BLIS, which is regarded as the 'premier' school in Ankara, Turkey. It is, unfortunately, human nature to belittle and demonize things upon either having to leave yourself or be asked to leave. This happens with workplaces and relationships most commonly, whereby people feel better about their own decisions in life when they can blame conditions in a workplace or their horrid partners for all the concerns and issues they face as individuals. The number one factor to consider with any school is how they fare with international recognition and accreditation. BLIS is fully accredited by the International Baccalaureate (IB), Council of International Schools (CIS), North England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), Turkish Ministry of Education (MEB), and is a recognized Cambridge school. This means that almost every year, dependent on accreditation cycles, this school is visited by international committees that evaluate the school on specific international school standards. These standards include administration and leadership, faculty, facilities, curricular programs, assessment etc etc. BLIS has been fully accredited by these outside agencies for over two decades (20 years). It's easy to make anonymous negative comments on random websites. It's much harder to maintain a high level of academic rigor and continued success in graduating ALL students to well regarded international universities across the globe, which BLIS has been doing since the day it started serving it's wider school community.
Amazing school however some teachers are not the best of people.

Very little concern for students and mostly about profits. Impossible to be successful without outside tutoring and guidance in most courses. The school has very disorganized staff and provides a subpar education. The turkish staff is much better when compared to the international staff.
