The Opportunity to Earn an Official Canadian Diploma While Studying in Türkiye
The Privilege of Graduating with Both MEB and Canadian Diplomas (OSSLT)
Kilittaşı Anatolian High School offers students the unique opportunity to graduate with both a Turkish High School Diploma approved by the Ministry of National Education (MEB) and an official Canadian Diploma (OSSLT) while continuing their education in Türkiye.
Moreover, students can earn this dual diploma without relocating to Canada, while continuing their lives and education in Türkiye alongside their families.
The academic program is fully aligned with the Turkish Ministry of National Education curriculum and is delivered in accordance with WASC accreditation standards and the Round Square educational approach. This holistic system aims not only to support academic excellence but also to strengthen students’ leadership, character development, critical thinking, and global citizenship skills.

The Canadian diploma is ranked among the top three most preferred diplomas worldwide by universities and offers students a significant advantage in international university applications.

The Canadian Experience: Education, Culture, and Exploration
Through exchange programs conducted in collaboration with Kilittaşı’s Toronto campus, students have the opportunity to study in Canada for short- or long-term periods.
Each year, as a long-standing tradition, our high school students travel to Toronto for two weeks, accompanied by their teachers.
During the first week, students attend classes at our Toronto campus. In the second week, they explore Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and Niagara, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Canada.
Through this experience, students:
Experience Canadian culture and the education system firsthand,
Strengthen their academic English and French proficiency,
Develop a broader global perspective.
Responsibility and Community Engagement
As part of the Canadian diploma graduation requirements, students are required to complete 40 hours of community service.
This process strengthens students’ sense of responsibility, social awareness, and leadership skills.
