The English School of Istanbul Preschool is the first branch of ESK in Turkey opening for the 2013-2014 academic year in Istanbul. Over the coming years, the Istanbul school plans to grow into a full Primary, and then Secondary, school following the same international curriculum as ESK. The aim is that this year’s preschool students will be able to continue their education at ESI through to their high school graduation.
