Global Pride at the Japan Mathematics Olympiad In one of the latest international achievements, Muhammed Enes Demirel, a student at this high school, won the gold medal at the 2026 World Mathematics Invitational (WMI) finals held in Japan [1]. This significant success, achieved under the guidance of teachers such as Neslihan Gökçe Koçar and Esra Özdemir, once again demonstrated the scientific prowess of the center's students on a global stage. In an official statement, the school administration described this success as a source of pride for both the country and the school [1].

The First Destination for Elites in the Entrance Exam (LGS) With the announcement of the 2026 High School Entrance Exam (LGS) results, Kartal High School remains the top choice for outstanding students.

The school began its "Promotion Days" on July 13, 2026, to welcome new students and their families and introduce its educational and social facilities to young talents [4].

The "Insan-i Selim" Educational Model: Integrating Science and Ethics Dr. Özkan Öztürk, the school principal, emphasized in an interview with Anadolu Agency that the school functions as more than just an ordinary educational center.

By offering international programs such as IB and IGCSE, the school prepares students to compete in global arenas [2].

A Legacy of Success and Future Vision The successes of 2026 follow the brilliance of previous years.

The combination of educational discipline and a supportive environment has made this high school a place where success is not an accident, but a continuous process.
