The child is starting school
Your child will start September in a classroom, not at home
Schools can be found for you free of charge anywhere: educational agencies earn their fees from commissions schools. The problem is not finding one. Without denklik — recognition of the certificate by the Ministry education — the child won’t be enrolled in school, and no one pays the denklik agency, so no one deals with it. We spend our own time on it — not a school commission.
Who it suits. For families whose child is starting a Turkish school or kindergarten this year.

In Turkey, certain districts are closed to foreign registration, and the lists change regularly. Renting or buying in such an area means a refusal — and the money spent are non-refundable. We verify the address up to t you sign something. Document review is included in every package.
We are upfront about our timelines: we will tell you straight away how long it takes us to prepare the denklik documents. No one can promise government timelines, and we won’t either.
Denklik, school search, and document submission — we guide you through to enrolment. Second child — add $149: each child needs a denklik, school search is done once.
Prices are in US dollars; 20% VAT is added on top. Government fees are paid separately and directly. SVOY initial consultation — 80 $, in-depth breakdown with a specialist in Turkey — at their rates.
Housing rental and purchase, documents, bank accounts and taxes, schooling, driving licence — 34 services in Turkey, each has its own price.
