General information 

​Osman Ulubaş Kayseri Science High School was founded in Kayseri in 1984. It is specialised in maths and science subjects. The academic performance is very high and the great number of the students study at Medical School or Faculty of Engineering after graduating our school.
The institution consists of a headmaster, 3 assistant directors, 24 teachers and 380 students aged between 14 and 18. 85% of the students come from different towns, cities and stay in school dorm. Nearly half of them come from families with financial problems.

Our school has received some TUBİTAK awards (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) and hold science fairs every May. It also organized the programme called MUN three years ago to raise awareness towards other cultures and diversities. We have organized Maths Olympics including all schools in Kayseri since 2018. Our school cooperates and shares experiences with universities, organizations, research centers and carries out scientific and social projects. Most of the teachers have attended teacher training courses to acquire ICT skills, and soft skills. Students take part in scientific activities like robotics, STEM and 3D printing and in various scientific competitions. Except scientific projects, students take part in social activities like book club, speaking club, and discussion club. They participate in sports and chess competitions as well.

​Activities and experience in relevant areas

As our school is a boarding school, we need to carry out different activities and we have to be aware of the personal problems of the students. Some of our students come from families who have financial problems. So; we aim to support students not only with education but also with extracurricular activities which stimulate critical thinking, self-autonomy and get students to be active, successful and responsible citizens on social topics, too. We are always in cooperation with psychologists when a student has serious problem that he/she can't handle. At school, the importance given to education, awareness on children's problem, conflicts between students and parents is so remarkable that with this project both teachers and students will have the chance of promoting new teaching methods, learning about new educational systems, acquiring social skills, finding out new ways to solve child abuse and neglect and understanding different cultures. Our school’s mission is: "Improving and updating students for life in an increasingly globalized world." So, in today’s world, we,
as teachers, should raise students with some social skills and competences which they will need to compete with real life cases. We should provide students the best opportunities. This project will create a great chance of motivating teachers and students, having experience of working with international organisations and protecting the children from any kind of abuse and neglect.
In addition to national competitions, we have been carrying out two Erasmus+ projects about technology and renewable energy resources. Thanks to these projects, we have carried out lots of activities like street interviews, democracy workshop, tolerance day, career day, online discussions on cyber bullying, scientific researches and language day. So we are all experienced and highly motivated to work in international projects on different topics and create awareness among students, parents and local people.
