What is OIS’s educational philosophy?
OIS believes strongly in a learning environment that is disciplined,
academically strong, and character-based, and where the whole child is educated
mentally, socially, physically, and spiritually. We believe that teachers must be the
living model of good character, living their lives in such a way as to
provide the exemplary behavior expected from the students they teach.

What part does the Turkish language play in
the OIS curriculum?
OIS offers Turkish language lessons as a supplemental part of its
elementary curriculum. Turkish is also taught at the secondary level in
fulfillment of the two-year foreign language requirement for
graduation. By doing so, we hope to instill in our students a respect
for their host culture, a practical assistance in everyday
communication, a head start in any future language-learning endeavors,
and a global citizen mentality.
