Why NEC? – Near East Yeniboğaziçi Junior College

With her quality education curricula, strong and dynamic teaching staff, and deep-rooted institutional culture, Near East Yeniboğaziçi Junior College is dedicated to continuing to raise individuals who are equipped with technological and global competitiveness skills, who can use the English language like a native one. Furthermore, being aware that a student with a second foreign language in the educational arena is always a step ahead, we implement the French course as a second foreign language course.
We promote not only the academic development of our students but also their personal, physical, cultural, and social development by providing them with the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities such as sports, athletics, dance, yoga, gymnastics, Pilates, Zumba, folk dances, and drama.
Ensuring a safe, respectful, and inclusive educational environment, we sustain our tradition of excellence in education by providing our students with all possibilities required to discover their full potentials and acquire all kinds of skills.
We foster respect and open-mindedness for other cultures. The primary aim is to broaden the student's worldview, increase his/her adaptability, and make him/her more creative and diligent. By bringing together students from different cultures at an early age, we teach them to be global individuals and to respect different cultures.
As a necessity of the information age that we are experiencing now, we raise critical thinking, problem-solving, principled, self-confident, creative, researching, and well-rounded individuals, who are inquiring while learning, capable to address the needs of the era, and who value democratic values.
Computational thinking and cognitive skills have a crucial role in preparing the young generations for the future. Considering this fact, Near East Yeniboğaziçi Junior College has empowered her curriculum with Coding and Robotics courses. Students start to receive coding and robotics literacy courses, which are generally implemented during university years, at an early age at our school and continue to have these courses at the secondary school and high school sections of the Near East Yeniboğaziçi Junior College. The main goal in Coding and Robotics literacy courses is to ensure interdisciplinary learning. For this, the student needs to produce a project. The project production process provides each student with the opportunity to use actively the information he/she acquires in all courses and to generate specific projects while having fun.
Our guidance unit and special education unit promote students' educational, social, mental, emotional, and cognitive development by providing all kinds of support whenever needed.
In order to appraise, protect, and promote the optimum health of our students, each student's health is insured by Near East Life Private Health Insurance without imposing any additional financial burden on them. Besides, we provide nurse services at the school within school hours. All health expenses under the insurance coverage are covered by our school.
We provide a safe school environment promoting social and creative learning. In this context, we ensure the safety of our students, educational settings as well as the teaching staff by providing the security service that controls the entrance and exit of our school for 24 hours every day.
We raise students who embrace and protect the principles and revolutions of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Founder of the Republic of Turkey.
We are raising individuals who are proud of being citizens of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, who love their homeland and country, who recognize and assimilate their country's culture.
