Nova Scotia Exchange Programme offers three different temporal choices to students between the 7th and 12th Grades, i.e. “Academic Month Programme”, “Single-Semester Student Exchange Programme”, and “Full-Year Student Exchange Programme”.
IGCSE
IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) was developed by Cambridge University. A good score in IGCSE (C and above) is accepted as a certificate proving proficiency in English language in almost all universities in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. In addition, completing an international programme and receiving the relevant certificate facilitates the process of our students to be accepted by universities abroad.TED Bodrum College Private Anatolian High School offers a two-year IGCSE English as a Second Language programme at the 9th and 10th grades and students completing this programme are able to enter the completion exams organised by Cambridge to certify their English proficiency level with international acknowledgement.
SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAMME
Aiming to train students that have a researching soul in the fields of physical and social sciences, have embraced scientific thinking, and have embraced these characteristics as a way of life, the “Scientist Training Programme” was initiated at TED schools as a first in Turkey along with the approval of the Council of Education and Morality.The “Scientist Training Programme” is a process where students with high academic success are trained with an educational understanding enriched in terms of training and education studies, based on practice and productivity, and focused on the cooperation between the school and universities.
As an advanced form of the curriculum applied at science high schools, this programme aims to train curious, sceptical, inquiring, researching and producing individuals who place importance on scientific thinking.
This programme requires every enrolling student to prepare a project that is worthy of entering the Project Competition organised by TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). On the other hand, these students are also prepared for the Science Olympics organised by TUBITAK in any field of their choosing. Furthermore, students enrolled in this programme are encouraged to enter any project competition organised in Turkey or abroad.
DICTION AND ORATORY EDUCATION
Life requires constant communication through speech. The ability of this communication to be healthy and professional accelerates the exchange of information. One of the prerequisites of being different and successful in business and social life, which is important in terms of personal development, is having an effective rhetoric. The main purpose of Diction and Oratory Education is to explain the technical and social aspects of effective and beautiful speech to students and to ensure the internalization of the subject with exercises and critical points. br>The program aims to improve the public speaking skills of our students by reinforcing the diction education they receive at secondary school level.
STEM
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education is an educational approach that includes teaching basic sciences such as science and mathematics by integrating with the application possibilities provided by engineering and technology and covers all levels from preschool to higher education. An interdisciplinary learning is provided with STEM education.STEM education aims to progress economically and to raise creative, productive leaders equipped with 21st century skills who have reached the information and information age. Our school, which aims to raise individuals who ask questions, question, define problems, think innovatively, have entrepreneurial spirit, have lifelong learning skills and are sensitive to society, also supports this goal with STEM approach.
MUN
Model United Nations (MUN) studies are conducted to ensure that our students are informed about important world issues and can find realistic solutions to these issues through research, discussion, and writing. Students participating in MUN studies work by researching world issues such as global warming, lost rainforests, poverty in developing countries. Since the official language is English, the MUN program provides the opportunity to use the language skills they have acquired in extremely high level subjects.Our students are preparing for MUN conferences held both at home and abroad every year. At these conferences, students defend the views and interests of the country they represent on a predetermined subject as the representative of a predetermined country in the United Nations. In these conferences, where all official jargon and procedures in United Nations sessions are mandatory, students talk, listen, and write about the information they obtain as a result of the research and have the opportunity to play a role in relation to the positions they represent. Thanks to the Model United Nations program carried out with the support of the United Nations, students have the opportunity to meet many new people from Turkey and the world and to get to know new cultures while being informed about international issues.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT STUDIES
With the academic support studies applied in our school, it is aimed to carry the current academic performances of our students in foreign language and basic courses further.For this purpose, the main ones from many studies in our school are as follows:
- Supportive studies to increase the success of our students with limited and advanced competence areas in school education
- Support studies for students with limited and advanced language skills
- Weekday and weekend surveys and reinforcement studies for university exam preparation processes
- Research and evaluations on factors affecting school success and scientific studies in this field
The program supports all activities and approaches that will serve the purpose of the program together with special preparatory courses for school courses and exams.
LIFE EXPERIENCE PROGRAM
In the Life Experience Program planned for secondary school students, it is aimed that students gain experience in all kinds of business from small tradesmen (tailors, restaurants, stationery, etc.) to large service or production areas. The purpose of the program, which is implemented in two-week periods in the summer months, is to help our students prepare for real life in a way that they are effective individuals of the modern world.The program is coordinated by TED Bodrum College Psychological Counselling and Guidance Service. Students record day by day what they experience in the "Experience Book"; workplaces fill out the form related to the student's performance at the end of the program. During the process, our program managers visit the workplaces where our students experience. Studies are archived and used as important data in the life preparation adventure of our students.
The program is carried out jointly with Bodrum Association of Tradesmen and Businessmen (BESIAD).
ECO-SCHOOLS PROGRAM
The Eco-Schools Program is a program implemented to provide environmental awareness, environmental management, and sustainable development education in schools. With the participatory approach, students acquire information about environmental issues and take an active role in raising awareness of their families, local governments and non-governmental organizations about environmental issues.In addition to providing a guiding program for environmental education to schools, the Eco-Schools Program also has the feature of being a reward plan for giving Green Flag prizes to schools that have achieved outstanding success in their studies and environmental education. The Green Flag is an eco-label that symbolizes an internationally recognized and respected, environmentally friendly school. Our school proudly waves the Green Flag it is entitled to receive with its applications.
NUTRITION-FRIENDLY SCHOOL
With the “Nutrition-Friendly School Project", it is aimed to increase awareness on healthy nutrition and moving life in schools and to improve school health by supporting good practices in this regard.Our school aims to raise awareness and sensitivity about healthy and balanced nutrition throughout life and adopts as a basic principle to carry out studies that support the prevention of obesity by encouraging our students to live in motion.
WHITE FLAG
Based on certain criteria in terms of cleaning and hygiene, our school was awarded with "White Flag and Certificate”, which meets the necessary criteria in the project implemented to supervise schools in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of National Education and to encourage them to improve school health.PORTFOLIO PRESENTATIONS
In our school, student-parent-teacher interviews (portfolio presentations) are held twice a year, once in every semester. In portfolio presentations, students explain their work to their families throughout the semester and thus have the opportunity to take responsibility for their development. The portfolio works that our students will carry out throughout their academic life are also an important archive in the process of admission to foreign universities.
