THE OVERSEAS COLLEGE<\/h2><\/div>

<\/div>[vc_column_text]About 85% of our ENKA senior class applies to universities abroad each year. The Overseas College Counseling Office (OCCO) helps those students and their families with their choices, preparations, and planning to prepare for studies at higher education institutions outside of Turkey. We believe that the success of college placement is measured by finding places where each student will thrive; the best university is a place that is an appropriate fit for each of our unique students. Through group presentations and individual appointments, we work with 9th -12th grade students and their parents as they make plans for their future.<\/p>\n

We are always available to meet with families to answer questions. OCCO is led by the Dean of Students, Metin Ferhato\u011flu<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Our highly experienced counselors are Sedef Y\u00fccad<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Ay\u015feg\u00fcl Kaptan<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and Louise Hibbs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ padding_top=”40px” padding_bottom=”40px” padding_left=”10px” padding_right=”10px” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”rgba(247,247,247,0.8)”][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
