EXPERIENCE
Education Shaped by International Experience
BIS Çamlıca is part of BIS Schools, an established educational group drawing on 40 years of international educational experience originating from the British International School. With campuses in Zekeriyaköy (Sarıyer), Bahçeşehir and Çamlıca (on Istanbul’s Anatolian Side), alongside Alkent Preschool, BIS Schools welcomes Turkish and international students, offering education across the group from preschool through high school.
At BIS Schools, our aim is to nurture happy global citizens: confident individuals who respect universal and cultural values, remain connected to their communities and country, and are inspired to make a positive contribution to society.
Our modern educational philosophy places social, physical, emotional and cultural development alongside academic achievement. In a safe, supportive and multicultural setting, we encourage every child to discover and develop their potential.
A Place to Learn, Close to Nature
BIS Çamlıca Campus is located in the Çamlıca area of Üsküdar, on Istanbul’s Anatolian Side. With its proximity to natural surroundings, contemporary learning spaces and opportunities for enrichment, the campus provides an engaging and inspiring school experience.

We believe that strong collaboration between parents, teachers and school leadership makes a meaningful difference to children’s experience at school and their long-term growth.
