International Mother Language Day

Language is a transmitter of culture. A nation’s history, values, folklore, music, literature, scientific knowledge and worldview are all parts of that nation’s culture. All these common values ​​are transferred to future generations through language. We are a school that is committed to teaching different parts of our culture to our children aged 5-14, by using our native language and creating a sense of community.
