Education
TED has a kindergarten, primary, junior high, and high school. All schooling is multi-lingual so students study English and Turkish from their nursery years. Students at kindergarten are prepared for primary school with a curriculum based on arts, sports, languages, and principle lessons. The primary and junior high school students continue their education with arts, sports, languages, and introductory lessons on applied and social sciences. In the tenth grade, high school students are separated into three departments, applied sciences, social sciences, and foreign languages, according to their abilities and the studies they want to pursue at college level. TED supports its students both in academic and social ways, and gives them the chance to study a second foreign language at high school level.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“I note what you say of the late disturbances in your College. These dissensions are a great affliction on the American schools, and a principal impediment to education in this country.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“‘Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
