Our Philosophy

Philosophy

‘At BESA we believe that every student is a unique individual with unlimited potential. Our philosophy is rooted in the conviction that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about nurturing a lifelong love of learning, fostering critical thinking, and developing the skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world'.

We are internationally minded and therefore strive to develop a better understanding of the world around us. We embrace diversity and the uniqueness of every nation and culture but we also recognise that there is always a common ground and similarities. We are curious about people other than ourselves and things other than those attached to our own culture, whilst feeling proud of our own identity.’

Mission Statement

BESA :  ‘Inspiring Minds, Shaping Futures'

Our mission is to value and nurture each individual's academic, physical, social, and emotional growth while instilling a love of lifelong learning. Every child is encouraged to fulfil their potential, remain curious, and thrive in an environment where cultures meet and diversity is celebrated.

Aims

Through our school values, we foster collaboration, adaptability, responsibility, and empathy. We create a kind, nurturing, and inclusive environment where everyone feels happy, safe, and ready to learn. 

At BESA, we challenge students to think critically and engage deeply with their studies by fostering an environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, problem-solving, and innovative thinking. 

We provide opportunities for students to tackle complex problems, explore diverse perspectives, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. 

By setting high expectations and offering support, we help students develop the skills and confidence needed to excel academically and contribute thoughtfully to the world around them.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all. We continually review and strengthen our policies and practices to ensure that the highest standards of care and protection are upheld for every child.

We value each individual for their achievements in academics, physical development, social growth, and emotional well-being, supporting them in reaching their full potential. We provide a high-quality curriculum rooted in the English National Curriculum, offering a wide variety of iGCSEs, ensuring a comprehensive, innovative, and rigorous academic education. 

We utilise Turkey’s distinctive geography and rich history to provide enriching learning experiences, broaden our students’ academic knowledge, and foster a deeper connection to the country in which they are living and learning.

We inspire students with respect for biodiversity and the natural environment. By engaging students in conservation efforts and promoting eco-friendly practices, we cultivate a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards our planet.
