North Cyprus International Schools
International Schools in North Cyprus
The
population of expats in Northern Cyprus is growing annually.
Although majority of those seeking to escape to sunnier climes are
people of retirement age looking for an idyllic early retirement
haven, there’s a strong tide of expatriate families and young people
taking up residence on this beautiful island. Let's say
those seeking to ditch the rat race in favour of North Cyprus living. As a direct result the demand for quality education through the medium of English has intensified and the number of schools in North Cyprus offering the British or international curriculum for students through years 1 to 16 has grown to meet this demand.
The first English language primary school to be built in Northern Cyprus was Sunny Lane,
it developed from an original idea by Hayran Unwin and is now a fully
fledged primary AND secondary school offering teaching through the
medium of English and cleverly combining both the British and Turkish
National Curricula.
Sunny
Land is located west of Kyrenia in Alsancak and is located on a purpose
built campus in a very peaceful location conducive of learning and
where there are no external distractions to interfere with the
education process. Sunny Lane staff keep class sizes small to
ensure that every pupil gets the dedicated attention they deserve and
they teach all major subjects from English, Turkish and Mathematics to
Science, IT, Art, Music and PE.
Children
can attend Sunny Lane Creche from the age of 2 and a Half, they can
then join the foundation class at age 4 before progressing to the
primary school from age 5 all the way up to age 11. At age 11
pupils move up to Sunny Lane Secondary School where the excellent
teaching standards continue in the following subjects: -
English,
Maths, History, Design and Technology, Sports / P.E., Art and Design,
Science, Geography, IT, Music, Modern Languages, Citizenship, Personal
and Social Development, Turkish, Cyprus History and Turkish Social
Studies.
The
school runs a free shuttle bus service which picks up children safely
and ensures they are returned home to their waiting family at the end
of the school day. For more information about Sunny Lane School
they now have a website where you can find complete primary and
secondary school details and contact information: http://www.sunnylaneschool.net/
GAU The American College and GAU The American Elementary School
have been celebrating their 10th anniversaries this year and in
response to the continuing demand for more educational facilities
teaching an international curriculum the group has announced the
creation this year of GAU The Preparatory School in North Cyprus.
The group have a campus just west of Kyrenia and also one in Nicosia
where now children of all ages can be taught - from age 5 through to
age 18 and beyond.
The
GAU standard of teaching has always been very highly thought of in
Northern Cyprus so everyone is excited by the creation of the Prep
School and we look forward to watching the development of the school in
the years to come. The school is offering the English Independent
School National Curriculum for years 1 to 8 but combining it with the
IAPS and Turkish National Ministry of Education Curriculum. The
pupils’ education will thus be structured to enable them to go on to
take GCSE, AS, A and Baccalaureate examinations but also to enable them
to communicate and be literate in the Turkish language and to have an
understanding of the education system encountered by their Cypriot and
Turkish peers. To find out more about the range of GAU schools and colleges in North Cyprus call them on +90 392 822 3381.
