International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB-DP)
A member of the Turkish Education Association, founded in 1928, TED Üsküdar College is a K-12 school offering kindergarten, primary, middle and high school education. TED Üsküdar College Anatolian High School has a preparatory year before grade 9, and our school is an IB DP World School. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is taught in grades 11 and 12. At TED Üsküdar College, a May-session school, the IB DP begins in grade 11 and ends in grade 12.
TED Üsküdar College has been an IB Diploma Programme World School since 4 June 2025.
TED-Canada International Student Exchange Programme
Under the Canada Education Agreement signed between TED and the Nova Scotia Department of Education in Canada, students of TED Üsküdar College Anatolian High School can take part in the intercultural student exchange programme and continue their education in Canada for one month, one term or one school year. Students who take part in the one-term or one-year programme receive Ministry of National Education equivalence on their return and have the right to continue at our school in the next grade up.
Advanced Placement (AP)
TED Üsküdar College officially offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB-DP) with the approval of the Ministry of National Education. Because Ministry regulations do not allow another international programme in a foreign language, a three-way agreement was signed on the initiative of TED Headquarters between “Providence Country Day School” in Rhode Island, United States — registered with the College Board and accredited by AISNE — and “Hudson Global Scholars”, which provides AP counselling to TED students, so that our students can take Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
Under this agreement, students at TED Schools can take AP courses online through “Providence Country Day School Global Campus”.
Courses are taught live online by certified American teachers, and students can contact their teachers at any time through a private messaging system. Students can access all course materials, complete assignments and stay in constant contact with their teachers on a platform available 24/7.
Online AP courses take place outside school hours for one hour a week, or two hours in some weeks when needed. A half-credit AP course has a total of 18 hours of live online lessons (one term), and a one-credit AP course has a total of 36 hours (two terms/one year). Course days and times are announced before each term begins.
The online AP courses are designed to prepare students for the AP exams held every May. To sit these exams, students must also register with an AP Exam Centre in Turkey. All online courses are approved by the “College Board” , so students study in an official AP programme. At the end of the courses, students receive a grade based on their performance, which is recorded on an official transcript issued by “Providence Country Day School”.
For an AP course to run live online, at least 10 students from TED Schools must enrol. If this number cannot be reached at one school, students from different TED Schools who request the same course can be grouped together.
