Courses offered within the program
At the heart of the Advanced Mathematics program is the ability for students to establish connections between mathematical theories and daily life, to learn the concepts conceptually, and thus to acquire conceptual knowledge in addition to procedural knowledge. By creating real-world problem situations, students are encouraged to apply the experience gained in solving these problems to practical applications. Students are encouraged to work individually and in groups to solve non-routine mathematical problems that cannot be solved using simple algorithms, to discover the formation of mathematical theorems, and to pose problems related to the subject matter. In addition to grade-level topics, students are also taught higher-level mathematical topics. Various problem-solving techniques are utilized to foster mathematical creativity. Proofs of mathematical theorems are particularly developed through justification. In this respect, the Advanced Mathematics program focuses on both the solution and the process in problem solving.
Four different units are covered each semester within the Advanced Mathematics program, and a faculty member accompanies the class during the first hour of each unit to enrich the program content. While some mathematical topics within the regular mathematics curriculum are studied and researched in depth by students, extracurricular topics are also explored and examined separately, creating environments for students to develop their skills. In this sense, topics easily understood by gifted students are quickly addressed, while challenging, higher-level mathematical topics with increased difficulty are covered in greater detail. Other interesting topics in the mathematics program include fascinating aspects of mathematics not typically seen in schools, as well as slices of life from mathematical geniuses, documents, documentaries, projects, and competitions. Additionally, units related to geometry are taught using geometry programs in computer labs. The following techniques are frequently used in the Advanced Mathematics program:
- Selective Problem Solving Technique (SPS)
- Creative Problem Solving Technique (CPS)
- DISCOVER Problem Matrix
Science encompasses advanced and challenging fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and ecology. The science program places great emphasis on scientific research methods, hypothesis development, hypothesis testing, data collection techniques, and the development of analytical and creative thinking. Science courses are both enriched and accelerated by subject matter. Students engage in in-depth individual research in science courses, developing their own interests. Science, in addition to theoretical teaching, incorporates the application of learned theories to projects in science and engineering and to activities designed to solve real-world problems.
Universal values are the primary focus of the Personality Education course. Current events, student interests, and needs are also taken into account. Lessons are conducted through discussions, case studies, documentaries, and practical applications. Character education techniques frequently utilize the Ethical Dilemma Resolution technique and Taba strategies.

ÜYEP Consulting Program
The ÜYEP Counseling Program is designed to provide all students with opportunities to adapt to social, emotional, and academic life. Within this program, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are assigned two advisors per class. These advisors serve as mentors until students complete the program. The primary role of advisors is to assist students in resolving academic, social, emotional, or personal issues. To fulfill this role, advisors are responsible for the following:
- They observe students in the classroom during the fall, spring, and summer semesters.
- They hold a group meeting with students during the spring semester.
- They meet with students once a week for two-hour sessions during the fall, spring, and summer semesters.
- They explain their responsibilities to the students they counsel and explain their expectations of them.
- They meet with families.
- They monitor student attendance.
- They ensure that student records are prepared when necessary.
- They refer students in their group to appropriate individuals and/or units for situations beyond their knowledge and skills.
- They assist students with resolving academic, social, emotional, or personal problems.
