It is undeniable fact that the number of the Arab community in its various components has increased continuously in Turkey, especially in Istanbul, which is the heart of Turkey, and because of this increase the availability of schools and universities that teach Arabic curriculum, whether in Arabic, Turkish or English, has become an urgent demand day by day.
In this article, we will address the topic of Arab and international schools in Istanbul, and we will clarify the most important points that revolve around them in terms of the quality of the curriculum they teach and what languages of teaching are adopted, and we will discuss the most important factors that play a key role in choosing the best school.
Over the past five years, the education sector for foreigners has witnessed an accelerated change in the field of school establishment, where investing in education is considered a successful investment in Turkey in general and in Istanbul in particular.
these schools have varied according to the diversity of Arab communities and their different concentration in different areas, which has affected the nature of the curricula of these schools.
we can see in Istanbul the presence of schools teaching Iraqi, Libyan, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Yemeni curricula, and because of the development of education systems, some schools have adopted some foreign curricula (British, American, and Canadian) Some schools have succeeded in applying this idea with high efficiency, and some other schools have suffered in this subject and a mock addition has remained to no real concrete benefit.

What are the most important criteria to pay attention to when choosing the right school?
There is a range of factors and criteria to consider when choosing the right school for your children, including:
It is considered the most important of these factors due to the massive distances in Istanbul, the journey from school to home can take more than two hours if you choose a school away from the place of residence, which is uncomfortable, tiring, and time-consuming process.
This point is very important as some schools and academies have recently spread in Istanbul, those schools do not have a license from the Ministry of Education, so the certificates granted by these schools and academies are not recognized by the Turkish government, which causes a lot of problems for students who have studied and obtained the certificates of those schools.
To find out if the school is registered or accredited in the Turkish Ministry of Education, you should review the Center of the Turkish Ministry of Education.
Istanbul Mıllı Eğılım Müdürülüğü
Or you can visit the department's website: https://istanbul.meb.gov.tr/
If you want to study in an international school with an Iraqi curriculum, for example, this school must be accredited by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Iraq and registered in the mother country or it will not receive a document at the end of the year and the school evacuation signed and stamped by the Iraqi Ministry of Education, which allows the holder to continue studying in the motherland.
We will present a table showing the distribution of Arab and international schools in Istanbul in both the European and Asian sections with a view to the curriculum adopted in each school as well as a detailed address for each school:
