International Dual High School Diploma
Without leaving Türkiye, your child can earn a diploma from Academica International Studies, one of the most respected high schools in the United States, alongside the diploma from their current school.
If you want your child to earn an international diploma without interrupting their high school years, the International Dual High School Diploma Programme does exactly that. Students never have to travel to America: alongside the diploma from the school they already attend, they also receive one from Academica International Studies, one of the most respected high schools in the United States. Everyday school life carries on, and there is no need to move abroad as a family or send your child away alone.

Lessons are taught live and the timetable is built around daily life in Türkiye, so school and family routines stay intact. Every lesson can be watched again afterwards to reinforce the material. The content of these courses is aligned with high school programmes in every US state.

Frequently asked questions
How is the diploma recognised?
The diploma is issued in the United States and the course content is aligned with high school programmes in every US state. Recognition procedures inside Türkiye follow the rules of the relevant official bodies; get in touch and we will walk you through the current process step by step.
How does it help with university applications?
Your child graduates with an American high school diploma in addition to their own, and can present both when applying. Every university sets its own criteria, so let us talk through the route that fits the country and institution you have in mind.
Will the workload be too much?
Only 6 credits are taken online; the other 18 come from the high school your child already attends. Because lessons follow Turkish hours and can be rewatched, there is still room to breathe during exam periods. Contact us for the current weekly timetable.
Is there a language requirement?
Get in touch for the programme's language requirement and the language of instruction. If you are unsure about your child's level, we can assess it before they start and prepare them with support classes where needed.
We can plan together how the programme fits into your child's current high school schedule. For enrolment conditions, the lesson calendar and any other detail, get in touch with us.
