Humanity
comes first at TUNÇSİPER…
Private
Tunçsiper Schools has been founded in 1993 by Mr. Nezih Tunçsiper, who
maintains a successful vision, both nationally and internationally, for the
education of young Turkish generation. Our management team including the
names of Mr. Kaya Tunçsiper, the General Manager, together with Ms. Nimet
Atabek, the High School Director, and Ms. Arife Koman, the Primary School
Director, creates a great synergy for new achievements of Private Tunçsiper
Schools.
An
Unprecedented Architecture
Private
Tunçsiper High School is located on a closed area of 15.000 m2 surrounded
with pine forest at Nilüfer Gümüştepe part of Bursa, which is away from the
crowd and traffic stress of the city center. With the special architecture
of the school campus, it is easy to feel the value given to our students.

thanks to the modern classes, labs, closed & open sport facilities,
conference lounge, a very hygienic refectory and a specially decorated

interactive education.
Do
you know your way?
Once upon
a time, Alice lost her way while walking around the forest. There were many
roads waiting for her so she couldn’t decide which one she should choose.
Then, she asked the famous rabbit to tell her which way she should go. The
rabbit answered: “If you don’t know where to go, then no matter which way
you go!”
To make a
plan, you need specified objectives as well as answer several questions
like:
• What
helps you to shape your decisions and actions?
• Why is it so important for you?
• Which job do you like most? What kind of changes will happen when you do
this job?
• The abilities you will use for your job. How can you do this? etc.
School is
everything…
Educational Institutes always need to update both their facilities and their
teaching models. In 2007, we have started to apply a new method that will
determine what kind of educational model should be followed to let our
students reach their career objectives as well as plan their in & out of
school activities. By the help of our experienced counselor holding a master
degree on Career Planning, an “Effective Learning Model” will be
applied to improve our students’ characters and abilities.

Permission and Non-attendance
During a
school year, the limit of unexcused absence for students is 20 days. Total
of permission periods, either excused or unexcused, given by the school

Developmental Discipline at Private Tunçsiper High School
Discipline at Private Tunçsiper High School is one of the methods used to
eliminate the reasons of negative behaviors. However, our students
displaying problematic attitudes are subject to certain precautions in
convenience with the Disciplinary Regulation released by Ministry of
Education. In order to share the happiness we breathe in our school
atmosphere, the school management administers certain rules based on the
positive discipline concept existing today’s modern educational
foundations.
However,
we are aware of the fact that an effective teaching & learning atmosphere
cannot be created under a highly exaggerated disciplinary environment.
For
years, satisfactory discipline models have been sought by educational
foundations and it is seen that the models which contributes to students’
cognitive, sensory and moral development are mostly acceptable by all
shareholders of educational foundations.
Positive
Discipline triggers more humanistic dialogs between teachers, parents and
students based on reciprocal courtesy. To adopt the Positive Discipline, the
followings may help schools have an idea about this concept:
ü
Positive
Discipline is initially based on a reciprocal respect of individuals.
ü
Positive
Discipline is a life-long approach.
ü
Positive
Discipline contributes individuals gain certain skills required to have a
positive and strong personality.
Developmental Discipline Approach: Phases and Implementations
Developmental discipline approach gives us the chance to evaluate any cases
from different perspectives. Based on developmental stages, students may
have certain personal problems as well as various learning problems that
seriously affect both the educational and disciplinary quality. Thus, if we
recognize how developmental stages of students affect perception of the
rules and regulations, we are able to conduct a more reasonable plan for
discipline.
This
modern discipline approach is also placed in Prize and Discipline Regulation
of Ministry of Education. So, disciplinary rules at school should never be
perceived as a court authority but as an existing authority, which tries to
provide a better and more efficient teaching & learning environment at
school. This is the reason why this common view should be adopted by all
members of “Tunçsiper Family” so that the School Disciplinary Board can be
supported accordingly.
The whole
copy of Prize and Discipline Regulation of Ministry of Education, issued on
Official Gazette by January 19, 2007 with a number of 26408, is available on
the official website of our school:

Today,

School. We really hope that all our students and their parents will feel the
peaceful atmosphere in our school, which is expected to play an important
role to maintain the peace both in Turkiye and the world.
