Discover SAC
A New Generation of a Distinguished Educational Tradition
Founded in 2014, SEV American College is the fourth high school established by the Health and Education Foundation (SEV).
SAC carries forward the academic heritage of some of Türkiye’s most well-established educational institutions, including Üsküdar American Academy, Izmir American Collegiate Institute, and Tarsus American College, whose histories date back to the mid-1800s.
At SAC, students grow within a learning environment shaped by deep-rooted experience, a contemporary educational vision, and a global perspective.
A Multilingual and Globally Focused Academic Experience
Students at SAC receive education in both Turkish and English while also developing proficiency in a third language: French, Spanish, or German.
Through strong language instruction, our students successfully prepare for internationally recognized examinations such as TOEFL, IELTS, and the European Language Portfolio.
Our academic faculty consists of highly qualified Turkish and international educators selected for both their academic expertise and their ability to support student growth.
A School That Lives Science and Technology
SAC is recognized for encouraging scientific inquiry, innovation, and research.
Our students:
- participate in TÜBİTAK projects,
- attend CERN visits,
- take part in science fairs and academic seminars,
- and develop research skills from an early age.
Technology is not viewed simply as a tool, but as an integrated part of learning.
Our campus includes 3D printers, computer laboratories, smart boards in every classroom, and a strong digital learning infrastructure that supports modern education.
The University Journey Begins in Grade 9
At SAC, university counseling begins with helping students discover their strengths, interests, and goals.
Starting from Grade 9, students receive individualized guidance throughout their academic and career planning journey.
Through university fairs, campus visits, career days, and one-on-one counseling, students gain the knowledge and confidence to pursue universities that best match their aspirations — both in Türkiye and abroad.
Student Well-Being Matters
Our Psychological Counseling and Guidance Department supports students academically, socially, and emotionally throughout their high school journey.
At SAC, success is defined not only by academic achievement, but also by raising confident, balanced, self-aware, and happy individuals.
Developing Global Citizens
SAC students participate in Model United Nations conferences organized in collaboration with our sister school, Üsküdar American Academy, the first school in Türkiye to host a conference officially affiliated with THIMUN.
Through these experiences, students strengthen their leadership, diplomacy, public speaking, and global awareness skills.
Beyond Academics: Arts and Athletics
At SAC, education extends far beyond the classroom.
Students:
- join athletic teams in various sports,
- participate in international theatre workshops,
- visit museums and attend performances abroad,
- and explore their creativity through artistic and cultural experiences.
We believe that academic excellence grows alongside creativity, collaboration, and personal expression.
A School Where Student Voice Matters
At SAC, students are active contributors to school life.
The Student Council:
- organizes scientific, artistic, and social events,
- collaborates with school leadership,
- and contributes to the school culture through surveys and student feedback initiatives.
Beyond the academic program, students may join nearly 40 clubs spanning science, arts, culture, leadership, and social responsibility.
