History

Fen Schools was founded in 1986 by our Founder, Zeynep Gülay Örsçekiç, as a continuation of the mission to raise academic standards in Turkey.
Combining the 21st-century curriculum with an innovative and progressive learning approach, Fen Schools has made it its mission to help students "discover and develop their true potential."

With an academic staff composed of individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and a bilingual education program that fosters a global perspective, Fen Schools continuously enhances its high-level academic and ethical standards.
From preschool through 12th grade, the school aims to cultivate students’ intellectual and humanistic qualities, shaping them into confident, moral, responsible global citizens with leadership skills.

Our founders previously launched one of Istanbul’s most successful and reputable prep schools, FEN Dershanesi, in 1985.
From the very beginning, it became a trusted educational hub, gaining the confidence of both families and students through its outstanding university exam results. FEN Dershanesi not only guided large numbers of students to success in national university and high school entrance exams but also achieved a record placement rate of 86% into Turkey’s top universities.

The Fen Schools Tuzla Campus, which represents the accumulation of over 30 years of experience from Fen Educational Institutions, is a source of pride for our organization.
Construction of this educational facility began after land allocation and planning work commenced in 2010, and it officially opened in September 2014. Our campus is equipped with the latest technological infrastructure and has set a national precedent with its ratio of enclosed and green space per student.
With its dedicated academic staff, modern learning materials, results-oriented academic programs, and competitive structure, the Tuzla Campus provides education at international standards.

Since its founding, Fen Educational Institutions has shared its great responsibility with its staff, achieving success not through hierarchical or conventional employer-employee relationships, but through solidarity, dedication, and a strong sense of teamwork.
As a family-owned institution, every employee is considered a member of the family, and joys, sorrows, and successes are shared and multiplied.
