The world's most prestigious high schools, which have many prominent graduates ranging from leading businessmen and politicians to artists and academics and entrepreneurs, are coming to Istanbul to recruit Turkish young people among their students.
The event, attended by admissions officers from world-renowned boarding high schools in countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, Switzerland, and Italy, was hosted by Leyla Merve Kayalı, founder of LMK Consulting, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Prominent mothers of high society, eager to miss this special event, also showed great interest. Well-known figures from high society, including Gamze Keçeli, Figen Erenel, Hande Can, Serap Sarı, Elif Yazıcı Girgin, Didem Bağrıaçık, Burcu Şendir, Yöntem Akmen İnanç, and Tuçe Peksayar, attended the event.
The organization, which brings together Turkish students with these distinguished schools that can offer unlimited opportunities for their students' educational careers and help them discover their potential, was carried out by LMK Consulting, Turkey's best educational consultancy firm.
Founded in 2013 when Michael Gary, the Admissions Director at the time and graduate of the company such as Dan Brown and Mark Zukerberg, reached out to Leyla Merve Kayalı and offered her an education consultancy abroad in Turkey, LMK Consulting provides personalized consultancy services to students who want to receive primary, high school or university education abroad, with boarding or day options.
All of the schools within the LMK Consulting organization offer world-class academic education, as well as extensive opportunities in sports such as tennis, golf, horseback riding, swimming, basketball, volleyball, squash, and football. The most important characteristic of these schools, with a history stretching back 200 years, is that they cultivate established families, renowned alumni, and fully equipped, self-sufficient individuals.
These schools, which have the same characteristics as a university campus, also offer many school subjects or after-school activities such as music, art, all other art branches, coding, marine biology, politics, Chinese, and Russian.
Guests showed great interest in the event, meeting with the admissions directors of the participating schools, whose primary focus is keeping students engaged to the fullest and most meaningful completion of their high school years and ensuring they are fully prepared for college.
