Demirören Media and Technology High School Introduction Days for 2026 Begin

The Selection Marathon and the Key Role of Demirören High School With the conclusion of national exams in Turkey, all eyes are now on the final results and the school selection process. According to official announcements, LGS exam results will be released on July 10, 2026, with the selection period for students scheduled between July 13 and July 23 [1]. In this context, Demirören Media and Technology Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, as one of the leading educational centers, began its in-person introduction programs in early July to answer questions from students and parents.

International Standards and the AP Curriculum Atilla Ertoğan, the school principal, emphasized during the opening ceremony of the introduction days that this center is the only vocational and technical high school in Turkey implementing the international AP (Advanced Placement) program [1]. This program allows students to take university-level courses during high school and prepares them for entry into the world's top universities. Ertoğan noted that their goal is to train "global citizens" who, in addition to mastering foreign languages, have a voice in specialized media fields [2].

Education at the Beating Heart of Turkish Media One of the unique features of this high school is its location within the Demirören Media Center in the Bağcılar district of Istanbul. Students study in an environment where media giants such as Kanal D, CNN Türk, and Hürriyet newspaper operate [1]. This proximity ensures that theory and practice are intertwined, allowing students to become closely acquainted with content production processes, live broadcasting, and digital journalism. Furthermore, the school places a special focus on the development of artificial intelligence in media, preparing students for future careers in the digital world [2].

Admission Requirements and Facilities This high school, which has successfully attracted students in the top one percent of the LGS exam in recent years, has set a limited capacity for the 2026-2027 academic year [3]. As a state school, all educational facilities are provided at world-class standards. Additionally, dormitory and welfare facilities are provided for students accepted from outside Istanbul, allowing elites from across the country to benefit from this educational opportunity. The introduction days will continue until the end of July, and parents can visit the school's specialized laboratories and studios in person [1].
