Message from Our Director

Our School of Foreign Languages aims not only to equip students with the language skills necessary for academic and professional life but also to provide a learning environment that fosters 21st-century competencies such as independent learning, critical thinking, and adaptation to a changing world. Our educational philosophy is based on the view that language skills are not only a means of communication but also a key competence that enables individuals to become effective and productive members of the global community.

Our School of Foreign Languages, grounded in the well-established educational philosophy of the Feyziye Schools Foundation, is committed to raising individuals who are loyal to Atatürk’s principles and who possess contemporary, universal, and ethical values. With our dynamic and experienced academic staff, we offer a learning experience that goes beyond language education, enabling our students to become active individuals in academic, social, and professional life.
