What TED Çanakkale Koleji does

TED Çanakkale Koleji is a private K-12 educational institution that officially opened on October 5, 2023, in Çanakkale, Turkey, operating as part of the Türk Eğitim Derneği (TED) network — a non-profit educational foundation established in 1928 that operates 52 schools serving 43,000 students nationwide with 6,000 education personnel. The school serves families with children from pre-school through high school (grades 1-12) on a 12-dönüm (approximately 12,000 sqm) campus featuring 15,000 sqm of indoor facilities, including classrooms, science laboratories, computer labs, a 450-seat conference hall, an indoor sports hall, an indoor swimming pool, music rooms, art and ceramics workshops, a library, a 3D classroom, and a school radio studio. The campus is designed to accommodate 1,250 students at full capacity.

The school's revenue model is primarily tuition-based, with families enrolling directly on campus or via an online pre-registration system across four grade-level segments (pre-school, primary, middle, high school). Supplementary revenue is generated through seasonal Summer School (Yaz Okulu) and Winter School (Kış Okulu) programs, and extended care/activity services under the SKS (Social, Cultural, Sports) coordination unit. Tuition fees are not publicly disclosed and require direct contact with the school; scholarships and discounts are available but terms are not published. The go-to-market motion is event-driven, leveraging direct enrollment, community events such as Gastrofest, and the TED network's brand reputation to attract families. Distribution is single-channel domestic — direct on-campus enrollment in Çanakkale.

Curriculum differentiation combines the Turkish Ministry of Education national curriculum with TED's proprietary English language program (18 hours weekly in 5th grade with native speaker support), German as a second foreign language, and international credentialing pathways including Cambridge ESOL (KET/PET/FLYERS), International Baccalaureate (IB), BTEC (Pearson), and IGCSE. The school actively participates in European eTwinning projects, the Eco-Schools program, and offers diverse extracurricular activities including robotics, coding, chess, sailing, swimming, and arts. Management includes Kurucu Temsilcisi Şebnem Akarsu and Kurucu Erdal Akarsu, with the school owned by the TED parent foundation.
