WHERE THE NAME GREEN & BLACK COMES FROM
DARÜŞŞAFAKA ASSOCIATION & SCHOOLS
DARUSSAFAKA High School , DARUSSAFAKA meaning “home of compassion”, is the first NGO (non-governmental organization) in Turkish history in the field of education was founded in 1863 with the mission of providing “EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO EVERY CHILD IN EDUCATION”.
Bright and talented children who have lost one of their parents and have no or limited financial resources become eligible to study at DARUSSAFAKA, after passing a competitive exam after completing the primary school when they are ten years old and DARUSSAFAKA provides access to them to qualified junior and senior secondary school education at international standards and in English (all science and mathematics lectures carried out in English language mostly by the British & American lecturers after a two years intensive English proficiency school) and in Turkish languages.
In its more than 150 years of existence DARUSSAFAKA has maintained its position in Turkey with the specific mission of providing EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN EDUCATION. At DARUSSAFAKA , children not only high quality education but also develop their personal skills and social orientation that enable them to become leaders in different segments of the society nationally and internationally.
DARUSSAFAKA receives no support from the state budget. DARUSSAFAKA’s entire operational budget (including cost of education and cost of living such as housing, food, clothing, health-care, books, cultural activities, and also scholarships for students who graduate from DARUSSAFAKA and gain admission to top universites in Turkey and abroad) is completely by donations and grants from philantropic citizens, charitable institutions and corporations who believe in the mission of DARUSSAFAKA and managed and handled by the DARUSSAFAKA ASSOCIATION.
