Flag of the Terakki Foundation Schools - Image by Ivan Sache, 28 August 2019
Terakki Foundation Schools (website) were established in Salonica in 1877 by a group of prominent Turkish businessmen as a private school under the
name of Mekteb-i Terakki meaning Terakki School, the word "terakki"
being equivalent to “progress”. The school then offered elementary and
mid-level education.
The school administration consisted of a committee having the principles
and structure of a foundation. The committee was, at the same time, one
of the first few non-governmental organizations established in Salonica
and it set out its own administrative principles by preparing a charter.
According to these principles, the students and teachers of the schools
would be under the supervision of this committee and be inspected twice
a week by two of the committee members. The goal set was to raise young
people with good morals who speak foreign languages, who are
entrepreneurs and are knowledgeable about business.
On 27 March 1880 the name of the school was changed as Salonica Terakki
School and the school started offering a high school program after
middle school. Becoming one of the impressive schools of Salonica due to
its rapid development and the quality of the education offered, the
Salonica Terakki School opened a boarding school and a section for
female students upon the request of parents. At the beginning of the
20th century, the school’s name changed as Yadigar-ı Terakki Ticaret
Mektebi meaning “The Token of Progress Business School”.
In 1912 Salonica was undergoing a turbulent time due to the Balkan War.
The Muslim Turkish community of the city had to immigrate to the eastern
regions, primarily to İstanbul and İzmir, because of the war, pressure,
and turbulence. Following the Lausanne Treaty in 1923 the last section
of the Terakki School in Salonica named Yalılar was shut down just like
the other Turkish properties.
However, four years before the last section in Salonica was closed down
another school that embodied Terakki spirit was established in İstanbul.
A groups of young people who studied at Salonica Terakki School and
emigrated to İstanbul during the Balkan War established a school titled
Şişli Language School on 5 April 1919 to continue the tradition of their previous school as a home of wisdom and to help younger generations
undergo the same tradition.
In 1921, the school’s name was changed as Şişli Terakki School. A
committee made up of founding and protective members called Encümen was
administering this school just like it was when it was first founded.
On 17 March 1934 the Şişli Terakki School was handed over to the limited
company with the same name. This was a formal handover because the
partners of the company had signed a written contract stating that they
would never ask for a dividend that suited the soul and principles of
Terakki.
In 1963 the company was transformed into a “facility” which was the
legal term for “foundation”. In 1967 Law No. 903 enabled establishing a
“foundation” and Terakki Facilities were turned into a Terakki
Foundation and the school was started being managed by this foundation.
Terakki Foundation Schools has been serving as a preschool, primary school, and high school with modern facilities in Levent, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in İstanbul since 1994-1995 academic year. From 2014-2015 academic year and on the new campus in Tuzla/Tepeören will start serving as a school in preschool, primary, middle, and high school levels.
The flag of the Terakki Foundation Schools (photo) is white with the school's emblem.
