Social Responsibility

At Levent College, we strongly believe in cultivating awareness and sensitivity towards societal issues among our students.

These activities serve as opportunities for our students to actively engage with and understand pressing social matters.

Additionally, we promote environmentally friendly practices, encouraging our students to be mindful of their ecological footprint and to contribute to the well-being of the environment. By incorporating social responsibility into our educational approach, we strive to instill a sense of empathy, compassion, and active citizenship within our students.

Cultural Diversity and Tolerance

Levent College fosters cultural diversity and tolerance in the education of its students. We teach our students to approach each other with respect and tolerance, and to embrace their differences as a source of enrichment.

Innovation and Creativity

By utilizing a strong technological infrastructure and incorporating new technologies in education, Levent College aims for continuous development through new ideas and methods for both teachers and students.

Levent College's guiding principles are centered around nurturing students who possess a universal worldview. Our fundamental principle is to educate students as individuals who respect existence, engage in democratic participation, and have a high level of technological proficiency. 

Respect for Existence

We aim for students to have self-respect and to exhibit exemplary attitudes towards nature, humanity, science, and art.

Democratic Participation

Democratic participation begins within our school community. Each student has a voice and the right to express themselves in their classrooms and in all areas of the school. Through the school council, which is formed either through individual representation, students can make requests, present suggestions, offer critiques and provide guidance. We strive for our students to become democratic participants who possess the knowledge and skills to advocate for their personal and societal rights anywhere in the world. We encourage them to engage in critical thinking and discussions to seek improvement and to think creatively to find new ways.

Technological Proficiency

We believe that emphasizing the importance of technology contributes to the development of well-rounded students. We guide our students to derive maximum benefits from technology. We teach them that conscious and informed use of technology is the key to accessing universal knowledge quickly and accurately. By integrating technology across all areas of education, we work to enhance our students' technological proficiency.

By adhering to these guiding principles, Levent College aims to shape students who are well-rounded, respectful of existence, active democratic participants, and proficient in technology.
