With its functional communal areas, the school facility is the perfect multi-purpose education complex that enriches the education programmes. Large and well-lit classrooms are constructed in line with the needs of the lessons. All areas inside the campus serve the pedagogical, academic and personal needs of our students. 

Physical, social and academic environments around the school are organised according to healthy learning conditions. 

Laboratories

Our school has one PS and one MS lab, in which maths and science classes are held; three HS science labs, in which chemistry, physics and biology classes are held; and a welding room, in which different stages of experiments are performed. These labs are fully equipped to carry out researches and experiments on all subjects involved in the Ministry of Education and IB curricula, and are especially suitable for IB students in Grade 11 and 12 to make long-term scientific observations for their research projects after getting individual appointments.

Library

Our school library contains published, visual and electronic resources and materials that are suitable for different age groups and learning styles.

The library has a growing collection of over 24,000 books in English and Turkish, with additional collections of books in French, Spanish and Italian. The Işıkkent Library regularly subscribes to 9 different magazines titles in both Turkish and English. Information on current affairs are supported through 2 electronic databases.

The library meets both teaching and learning needs and supports the curriculum as well as promoting the habit of reading. For this reason, students actively use the library for a variety of activities -such as lessons, reading and research- throughout their learning process.

With its up-to date and universal collection, our library develops the joy of reading in children. You can access the resources from the e-catalogue by visiting http://library.isikkent.k12.tr . You can search by using the name of the author (surname-name), book title, keyword, topic or word.
