Üsküdar İmam Hatip Ortaokulu

What Üsküdar İmam Hatip Ortaokulu does

Üsküdar İmam Hatip Ortaokulu is a public religious vocational middle school (Imam Hatip Ortaokulu) operated by the Turkish Ministry of National Education (T.C. Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı) and located in the Ferah mahallesi (neighborhood) of Üsküdar district, Istanbul. The institution serves approximately 1,180 students in grades 5–8 across 43 classrooms with 78 teachers, delivering Turkey's standard national curriculum alongside religious instruction and Arabic language education. Specialized academic programs include a four-year Hafızlık (Quran memorization) track launched in the 2017–2018 academic year for qualified 5th-grade entrants, and a Yoğunlaştırılmış Dil Sınıfları (Intensive Language Classes) program offering weighted English and Arabic instruction for 5th-grade students admitted via a readiness/placement examination.

The school's core infrastructure consists of an IT classroom with computers, a science laboratory, a library holding 7,924 volumes, and smart-board-compatible classrooms connected through the national Fatih Projesi (FATIH Project) initiative that supplies interactive whiteboards and tablets. Beyond the curriculum, the school runs a portfolio of civic and cultural projects: Yetim Kardeş (Orphan Sibling, since 2013) in coordination with MEB, Eğitim-Bir-Sen, and the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı; a Kardeş Okul (sister school) cultural-exchange partnership with Cahit Zarifoğlu İmam Hatip Ortaokulu in Mardin; writing-skills seminars with the Yazarlar Birliği Istanbul branch; scouting activities via the Türkiye İzcilik Federasyonu; and extracurricular clubs in science, arts, sports, and community service.

The business model is government-funded public education: the school charges no tuition, derives all operational, salary, and capital funding from the MEB budget, and routes enrollment through Turkey's national placement system. Its stated vision is to become a "brand school" sought-after across Istanbul, and it has begun pursuing that goal through competitive recognition — placing 2nd in Istanbul in a Quran recitation competition and 3rd province-wide in a Ramadan decoration contest in 2026, plus a district-level first in the Mathematics Science Olympiads.

Comparable as a religious-education institution running specialized memorization tracks alongside standard schooling.

Others
