Oasis International School - Turgut Özal Blv. No:18

I've spent three years of my life at this school, and all I can say is that they were some of the best years in my life. I've met students from different cultures and religions and learned new things from them. Students appreciate one another and are welcoming to one another. Teachers try to do their best to help students that do not speak fluent English and just in general to prepare every student for college. Oasis International has one of the best athletic teams that you will find in Ankara and maybe Turkey. Students know how to practice well, work together, and have great sportsmanship in games and tournaments. All in all, it's a great community and school where teachers and students from different countries are trying to bring one another up.

Having attended this school for 13 years, it has saddened my heart as I saw some of the reviews that are comprised solely of false narratives from a few immature students (though they may as well be called kids), who have only experienced the school for a few years and have chosen retaliatory action to the disciplines they had received for their wrongful, hurtful, immature, and negative actions towards other people. What I can say, though, from my 13 years at the school, is that this school has given me a GOOD education. And my many other graduate friends will undeniably say the same things because what we have found in university, is that we were really prepared for it by this institution. Comparing myself with other university students, I find myself much better prepared than them in many educational topics which has definitely increased my appreciation for this school's ability and success at education. Another common misconception about this school is that it forces down religion upon its students. I and many other students from many different religions have never felt religion forced down upon us. There are no mandatory religious classes, there are no mandatory religious rules. For any who wish to find the truth for themselves, they can read the Student Code and Rules found on the webpage which contains ZERO religious rules as well as researching the classes taught in this institution of which there are NO mandatory religious classes. This school welcomes everyone, from all races and religions EQUALLY. Overall, Oasis is a stellar school, and after graduating from it and maturing myself, I have only gained more respect, appreciation, and love for it. Any who want to send their children to this school would be doing a huge service to their children and the future of their children.

I was a student at Oasis International School for 12 years. I am very glad I graduated from this school. I had friends from many countries and the teachers were always willing to help. My English improved at this school, and I was always exposed to a friendly environment regardless of the diversity of our school. I chose my University to have an international environment because I grew up that way in Oasis. We were many students crossing one path and learning to become a family with one another. Oasis is place that will teach you about different aspects of life.

Oasis is by far the best school in Turkey. I've lived in four countries and attended multiple schools. There's no school out there like Oasis. The teachers mentor you, give you constructive feedback, and show you the same kind of love and care they would show their own children. I attended Oasis for four years. I graduated in 2017. I took all the values like compassion, hard work, and integrity, that Oasis instills in its students-- to College and thrived. I graduated College early. I'm now one of Canada's youngest full-time journalists-- working for Global News. The best decision my parents ever made in Turkey was enrolling me at Oasis. I love that school so much, and I sincerely miss everyone!

Oasis had been my second home from first grade till graduation this year. I am incredibly thankful to have been part of the Oasis family for 12 years. Throughout those years, I was not only prepared for university at the highest quality, but also have grown to attribute many righteous morals and character traits. Oasis raises its students to be great human beings not only through academics but also through outstanding characters. Aside from academics, Oasis provides a variety of extracurricular activities that help the students grow in many different areas. Furthermore, the teachers are always there for you, let that be a personal problem you want to share or just a math problem you can't solve. If I were to start my education life all over, I would once again choose Oasis.

All three of my children attended Oasis. This is a school of excellence on many levels. My oldest son had a successful college career, graduating with honors and is now enjoying much success in the work place. Much of that can be attributed to the training and education that he received at Oasis. My middle child just graduated from Oasis with high honors. He entered college having passed 4 AP tests and as a National Merit Scholar. This too, speaks to the excellent education that he received at Oasis. My daughter is entering the 10th grade and I have nothing but great expectations for her high school career at Oasis. Beyond education, Oasis has a family atmosphere that is loving and welcoming toward students from all over the world - 75 countries and numerous cultures and faiths.

I've been employed by this school for many years, and all 5 of my children have attended. You will not find a place in the city where kids will be taught sportsmanship and good character and receive the love/academic instruction they deserve more than they will at Oasis.

Our five kids were at OASIS since 2018, two of them graduated and three we had to move them out. We are facing an enormous amount of stress and difficulties with the Denkliks (equivalency certificates). It is certainly because the school needs to resolve the challenges faced by graduates in getting Denkliks needed by Turkish universities. We are still facing issues with our two graduates (one graduate of 2020 and the other of 2021) who are studying in Turkish universities as well as our two other kids who are now in Turkish school but can't get registered as the ministry of education says OASIS is not approved with us. We are now just praying to God that our kids education years are not compromised and face the consequences. The school management is too slow on tackling and resolving this matter.
