The Turkish Lise system is a four-year upper secondary school program (grades 9-12) following primary education. Students in the Turkish-Mathematics stream focus on mathematics, Turkish literature and language, social studies (geography and history), and often philosophy, along with English and potentially another foreign language. Electives are offered in Lise grades 10, 11, and 12, allowing students to tailor their education towards their university and career interests.
While the specific 12th-grade electives for the Turkish-Mathematics stream are not readily available, some general information about electives can be gleaned from various sources. Robert College, for example, offers a wide range of electives, including those in mathematics, arts, computer science, English, foreign languages, physical education, science, and social studies. Their mathematics electives include Advanced Placement Calculus AB, Advanced Placement Calculus BC, Advanced Geometry, Functional Analysis, Advanced Placement Statistics, and Discrete Mathematics. Other schools likely offer similar options, although the exact courses may vary. The Turkish Ministry of Education approves the curricula for both common courses and electives. Some sources suggest that elective courses in Turkish literature, history, foreign languages, chemistry, mathematics, and logic are available within the Turkish K-12 system. |
