With the support of advisory teachers, students develop projects in both fundamental and social science areas such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, History, Sociology and Psychology. By the completed projects, they can enter their projects into a number of the national or international competitions or fairs. TUB\u0130TAK, MEF, Istek Schools, DOESEF, Genious Olympiads, I-sweep and First Step to Nobel Prize are among some of the competitions in which we have participated. Students who have the chance of presenting their projects or earning a place in those competitions will improve their academic, social, cultural and interpersonal skills as well as contributing to their goals.[\/vc_column_text]

ECIS Math Quest<\/span><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Every year in April the ECIS Math Quest is organized through the participation of ECIS member schools. The competition is for grade 5 and 6 students under the age of 12. The aim of the competition is to foster motivation and interest for mathematics by means of an intercultural and social experience that promotes the interaction and cooperation amongst participants. The participating students are hosted by the students of the host school.<\/p>\n

The Math Quest is composed of individual and team questions, a construction challenge and a mathematical orientation around the city.<\/p>\n

ENKA Schools has participated in this event since 2012 as the representative of Turkey. ENKA hosted the Math Quest in 2019. It has previously been held in Paris, Oslo, Berlin, Barcelona and Stockholm.<\/p>\n

In October a selection exam is given to the volunteer grade 5-6 students from our school to form the ENKA team. This team is then prepared for the competition during sessions after school.<\/p>\n

Community Service consists of activities involving creativity, physical activity, and social responsibility. Completion of these activities is mandatory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students are required to document their community service (CS) activities, provide supporting evidence, and write a personal reflection (e.g., essay, cartoon, website link, etc.) reviewing the changes they experienced during the process and the outcomes they achieved. The activities should span approximately eighteen months. In addition to regular activities, students are expected to carry out a project lasting at least one month.<\/p>\n

At ENKA Istanbul High School, community service begins on the first day of Grade 11 and is completed by the middle of Grade 12. These activities are recorded on a platform called “Managebac.” At the beginning of the school year, students are guided on how to use this platform. The most important aspect of the process is the student\u2019s self-reflection based on the goals they identified at the beginning (e.g., highlighting strengths and areas for growth, challenges faced, issues of global importance, or ethical considerations).<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

At the start of Grade 11, the community service process and necessary steps are introduced to students, and a handbook prepared for this purpose is distributed.<\/p>\n

Each group of eight students is assigned a CS advisor teacher who meets with them at least three times throughout the year for follow-up meetings. Missing information on Managebac is shared with each student individually.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the progress of Grade 12 students in the community service program is reported to parents via progress reports sent at the end of each quarter. For Grade 11 students, parent updates are provided at the end of the first semester and at the end of the academic year.<\/p>\n

The community service coordinator holds regular meetings with advisor teachers to share updates and ensure the smooth operation of the program. The coordinator also communicates with other relevant individuals when necessary.<\/p>\n

ENKA Istanbul High School holds all students responsible for fully completing the community service program.<\/strong><\/p>\n
