About Us

We have worked for many years in order to have the education experience we have gained now… We visited dozens of institutions in many different countries of the world. We attended international education conferences. "Where should education go?"

With these long-term researches and our own educational experience, we decided to draw a roadmap as follows; In closed classrooms, while a teacher is explaining the subject, instead of students being in a listening position and in a communication model that responds when asked, the teacher and the children are in a team spirit, finding a solution to a problem, questioning each new information and new areas of discovery as a result of each query. We believed that an education method based on learning and learning would raise individuals who are creative, productive and enjoy learning.

With the awareness of the fact that our values ​​are based on simplicity, transparency and sincerity, we wish to walk together on this long and challenging, yet enjoyable road that awaits us in order to prepare our children for a good future.

    1st Class- Both of my children have been studying here for three years. We have experienced that academic success is an institution that has adopted all its teachers and administrators through making the child happy. "It is noticed that there is great effort and meticulous work in the background of everything implemented in DOĞRU ODAK. We would like to thank all the teachers and staff of the institution, especially Ms. Begüm.

    2. Class- When we first went to see our school, a wonderful garden welcomed us. But it's not your ordinary schoolyard, it's a garden with chickens, roosters, rabbits and ducks. Then, as I got to know her, Begüm Hanım, whose admiration increased as a woman and an educator, welcomed us with her smiling eyes. (We visited 5 schools before) I can't tell you how lucky we felt when he said that the children's meals were prepared in their own fields, with the organic food they grow. We cleared all the questions in our minds about their educational goals and what kind of a generation they want to raise, and we entered our 3rd year with peace of mind. It is priceless to see that our son's skills increase in a positive way and that he goes to school happily. But most importantly, TRUST. Dear Ms. Begüm, who gives us endless confidence, we are glad to know you and your institution. Signing friendships that will last a lifetime is also possible with respect, love and trust. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff of the institution who made us feel these feelings, and of course to our special teachers, each more valuable than the other.

    3rd Class- Our paths crossed 3 years ago with Doğru Odak Schools. Begüm's idealistic attitude and positivity was the first thing that attracted me. When I visited the school, I said, 'OK, this is the school I was looking for!' and we started a journey with you. Over time, seeing both the teachers and the administration, I realized once again that I had made the right decision. My child is very happy at school. During the difficult pandemic we went through, we received our education from home as if we were at school. Everything was perfect. Thank you for that too. School meals are already great, teachers are great. It's called 'SpecialDoğru Odak Schools'... I think it's not Special Doğru Odak because it's paid, but Special Doğru Odak School because you feel special.

    1st Class- We met with Doğru Odak School when my daughter Annemarie was only 3 years old. Playing comfortably in that large garden like the garden of our house, watching animals such as chickens, turkeys, rabbits and goats, collecting eggs from chicken coops, connected my daughter to school at first sight. Even picking tomatoes and cucumbers from their branches was a wonderful experience for my daughter. He started doing maths at the age of 5, speaking very good English, we were really happy that he made lots of friends and grew up socially safe and consistent. In addition to the naturalness of the food, the fact that it was delicious and the disappearance of the habit of choosing food was a huge plus. It is not only the education that makes the school a school. When teachers, employees, founders and physical facilities are harmoniously integrated, then one can see the difference. While there was a founder, dear Begüm, and wonderful teachers who knew my daughter almost as well as I do, we could not see any other option, and we again chose Doğru Odak for primary school education, which is one of the most important stones of education life. And we saw that we made the right decision again. I can't say enough about our esteemed teachers who patiently teach us to write, read, be organized and in harmony within the framework of level discipline. Finally, dear Ms. Begüm, how well did you come to this place and opened this school with your self-sacrifice, which I witnessed firsthand. On behalf of my daughter, we thank her for every single day she spends at your school, as parents. With love and peace….

GOOD SCHOOL

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of good school? In fact, there is no single answer to this question today. According to some, an academic school that scores well in high school entrance exams (LGS) comes to mind, according to some, a school that prepares children for life, and according to others, that can provide both academic and practical education equally. Of course, different ideas can be put forward here… Today, parents are in search of their children according to their sociological and economic status in order to have a good education. As a result of these searches, they sometimes feel disappointed when they cannot find the promises by being deceived by false advertisements and promises, and sometimes they think that they are lucky with the excitement and happiness of finding what they are looking for. The lucky ones can announce this opportunity to their close circles and enable them to receive education with the same opportunities. In fact, this is the best advertisement for an institution. In other words, being satisfied with the service received and recommending it to his/her environment. This is also true for Private Schools and private education institutions in Sarıyer and other private schools.

Although our school is among the best schools in Zekeriyaköy, it is in a position that appeals to our students here, together with the private schools in Uskumruköy, Bahçeköy, Sarıyer center, Kilyos, Gümüşdere, Arıköy, Demirciköy, Göktürk, Kemerburgaz. Especially, we have students from regions such as Zekeriyaköy, Uskumruköy, Demirci and Gümüşdere. Although our school is a new private school, it has come a long way in becoming the best school in Zekeriyaköy and its surroundings, both as a private primary school, a private secondary school and a kindergarten. Our school has taken its place among the best private schools in Sarıyer in terms of science, art and social opportunities, and it trains its students to become a world person with very different and original activities in the fields of science, art and different sports.

Sarıyer and Zekeriyaköy, as one of the most beautiful places in Istanbul, offer a beautiful environment to their residents with nature and forests, intertwined with greenery. Our school has also been designed in accordance with this environment; With its large garden, animal huts and cultivated gardens, it has facilities that are not available in any private school. Here is a private school that is both compatible with nature and effective in science, art and sports… It has firmly laid its foundations to be the best private school in Sarıyer and Zekeriyaköy and continues on its way.
