Dual Diploma · Ontario Curriculum · Global University Placement
Kilittaşı Anatolian High School is an innovative educational institution that follows Türkiye’s Anatolian High School curriculum while also offering students the opportunity to earn a dual diploma. In addition to completing the Ministry of National Education curriculum, our students also complete the Ontario International High School Program and, upon graduation, become eligible to receive the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). This dual diploma structure provides our students with a strong advantage in gaining acceptance to leading universities around the world.
Our school is committed not only to academic excellence but also to raising individuals who inquire, question, think analytically, produce, and are sensitive to themselves and their surroundings. To strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility, they are required to complete at least 40 hours of community service prior to graduation. In this way, students build a connection with their community and develop essential social skills.
At Kilittaşı Anatolian High School, our educational approach is supported by a strong academic foundation, the opportunity to earn an international diploma, and a modern learning environment. The vision and mission of our school aim to prepare students for the future as successful and impactful individuals both in Türkiye and on a global scale.
In 2017, Keystone International Schools opened its Toronto campus, the Toronto Keystone Highschool aligning with the mission and values upheld by its Istanbul counterpart. Facilitated by ongoing communication and collaboration, our institutions coordinate curriculum development and share similar teaching practices.
A distinguishing feature of our educational framework is the flexibility it offers Kilittaşı Schools’ students in Istanbul. At any point throughout the academic year, students have the opportunity to transfer to the Toronto campus, ensuring a seamless continuation of their education. To enrich this cross-cultural educational experience, we organize an annual trip to Canada for our high school students.
This opportunity not only exposes them to the local culture but also allows them to partake in classes at our Toronto campus.
At Kilittaşı Schools, our college counselling services empower students to make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures. Students have access to personalized one-on-one meetings with our college counsellor to identify their goals, understand university application processes, and explore entry requirements. Group workshops are tailored to specific grades to address students’ needs at different stages of their academic journey.
Starting in grade 9, students receive guidance to explore their academic strengths, interests, and career aspirations. Our counsellor educates, advises, and mentors students through the international college application process. This includes providing feedback on personal statements and essays, assisting with application forms, and supporting students in gathering necessary documents such as transcripts and recommendation letters.
Our counsellor informs students about admission requirements, monitors their application progress, and provides support in academic course planning and standardized test preparation. This includes exams like SAT, ACT, AP, TIL-TOLC, and IELTS/TOEFL, ensuring students are well-prepared for each step of the process.
We maintain a collection of up-to-date resources on colleges, universities, internships, and careers to assist students in their exploration. Additionally, we arrange university fairs, organize college visits, and host university admissions officers. These events provide students with opportunities to learn about institutions and programs, explore different majors, and build valuable connections.
We emphasize the importance of collaboration by involving parents and faculty in the counselling process. Information sessions, presentations, and one-on-one meetings with families ensure students have a supportive network throughout their application journey.
All counselling sessions and personal information shared by students are treated with strict confidentiality. To ensure the effectiveness of our counselling program, we conduct regular assessments through surveys, feedback from students and parents, and by tracking student outcomes.
We look forward to supporting our students in achieving their future goals!
