SECONDARY
Oasis International School graduates earn a high school diploma that is recognized and accepted worldwide. We are accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and are fully approved by the Turkish Ministry of Education. Our school uses a 4.0 grading scale in alignment with the College Board and teaches through a normal American curricular system.
​
While all of our classes are taught in English, our student body is incredibly diverse. Over the years Oasis has been home to students from more than 100 countries.
​
In the last 16 years, five Oasis students have earned U.S. National Merit recognition, including a National Merit Finalist and a National Merit Scholar. Nearly all Oasis students continue their education at a college or university in North America, Europe, or Asia.

CURRICULUM
THE AP PROGRAM
AP® is operated by the College Board, an organization whose mission is to connect students to university success and opportunity. The College Board also administers the PSAT/NMSQT® and SAT®.
​
The AP® program provides students with university-level academic courses, giving them a head start when entering tertiary education. Students who take AP® courses show universities they are serious about their education and are capable of performing well at the university level. AP® students refine their critical thinking, time management, and study skills while still in high school.
​
Due to their rigorous nature, AP® courses earn higher grade point averages. Additionally, by earning university credits while in high school and skipping introductory courses when starting university, students can easily save money on tuition, study abroad, or double major. Lastly, AP® class sizes are typically much smaller than regular courses, allowing students to have more individualized instruction from their specially-trained teachers.
​
HONORS CLASSES
Honors classes cover the same or similar material as regular classes but provide more depth and insight into the subjects at hand. More challenging content means studying takes more time, projects require more work, and tests are more challenging.
​
As a result, honors students can develop better study habits and more effective test-taking skills. Fast-paced and interactive honors classes can also simulate a college classroom better than regular classes. Through Honors Classes, students may increase their GPAs up to a 4.5/4.5
