MEF International School Istanbul is located in Ortaköy on Istanbul’s European side and shares a spacious 9-acre campus with MEF National School. Despite its size, the school fosters a warm, inclusive atmosphere for both students and families.
Primary (Years 1–5) and Secondary (Years 6–12) are located in separate levels of the main building. Facilities include science labs, computer labs, a shared research library, and a canteen. The Early Childhood Centre (ECC)—serving ages 3 to 5—is in a separate building with its own play areas and learning spaces designed for younger children.
Technology is fully integrated, with campus-wide Wi-Fi, smartboards, projectors, and Apple TVs in classrooms. The “MEF Tech” hub features a makerspace, robotics labs, iMac and PC stations, and a green screen studio for hands-on, creative learning.
The school also offers excellent arts and sports facilities, including a 588-seat auditorium, three art studios, two music rooms, a dance studio, outdoor pitches, tennis courts, an indoor gym, and a heated 25-metre swimming pool. Student wellness is supported by on-site healthcare staff and guidance counsellors.
Security is a priority, with fenced perimeters, video surveillance, and full-time personnel ensuring a safe environment.
