Kandilli Anatolian High School for Girls

This educational institution stands on the Asian side of Istanbul, offering secondary education with a focus on academic excellence for female students.

The school opened in 1916 in the former Adile Sultan Palace, which served as the main building until its destruction by fire in 1986.

The curriculum integrates Turkish educational traditions with modern teaching methods, preparing students through both academic and extracurricular programs.

Students enter the school through a selective admission process based on national examination scores and academic performance requirements.

The original palace building, restored in 2006 through alumni efforts and private funding, now functions as a separate cultural center next to the school.
