Tarabya British Schools (often abbreviated as TBS) also Özel Tarabya İngiliz Okulları (Turkish) or Özel Tarabya Anadolu Lisesi (formal Turkish) is a private Anatolian High School in Tarabya, Istanbul, that offers both national and international education through an integrated curriculum to both international and Turkish students. It was established in 2013 by the Horizon Education Group, aimed at preparing students to study at internationally recognized and prestigious universities through the Cambridge International A-Level Examinations.
The curriculum for the Turkish students includes both MEB Anatolian High School programme and CIE International A-Levels, which provides the graduates with dual diplomas. Students without a sufficient command of the English language are placed into the Prep Class, where they study mostly English to meet the schools requirements.
A secondary school is slated to open in September 2016.
Opened in September 2015, with a ceremony with the presence of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. It is located in the renovated building of a Greek Primary School that functioned between 1870 and 1980 in the neighbourhood of Yeniköy. Also integrates Cambridge International Primary and Checkpoint with the national curriculum.
Tarabya British Schools started various social projects such as 'Make a Wish', aimed at raising money through organization of various activities in order to make the wishes of underprivileged children come true. First year the project took place in Ağrı, second year in a small village of Zeyrek, Erzurum province in Eastern Turkey. There are student clubs such as MUN and UNICEF, organizing trips to the debates taking place in other countries and in Istanbul, and arranging benefit concerts. TBS is an active participant of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award program, for which it has been visited on 15 of October 2015 by Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex. The school was the regional winner in the third stage of the School Enterprise Challenge 2014 and is among 8 schools of the Erasmus+ Eurobalades project.
