Winner of the International German Olympics 2022 Turkey is from TAC
TAC’s 11th grader Cem Yıldız placed first in Turkey at the B1 level of the International German Olympiad (IDO), the world's largest contest of German language skills.
The International German Olympiad, a biannual event held in Germany, is organized by the Goethe Institute in collaboration with the International Association of German Teachers (IDV).
Encouraged by the German language teachers of our school, Cem achieved a remarkable success, receiving the first place in Turkey at the B1 level Olympiad. The Olympiad consisted of two phases. Cem Yıldız, who was successful in the first phase as one of 16 people among 43 B1-level participants, passed the German language exam as the first place winner in the final stage.
Cem Yıldız, who passed the national eliminations of the B1 level in Turkey with the highest score, qualified to participate in the International German Olympiads to be held in Hamburg between 03.08-07.08.2022 with the scholarship provided by the Goethe Institute.
We wish Cem continued success in the Hamburg Olympiads.

The First-Ever TAC Sports Festival
The Sports Festival, which we organized for the first time with the collaborative efforts of the Physical Education department, Sports Club, Alumni Association and students in the Sports Committee drew an enthusiastic audience. The Festival turned out to be a wonderful avenue for the participants to be involved in sports activities and socialize thanks to various entertaining components.
We experienced sports, competition and fun to the fullest at the festival attended by graduates, teachers and students. TAC thanks everyone who contributed to the planning and implementation as well as the participants.
We hope to meet representatives from all stakeholders in the next stage of our Sporfest, which we plan to make a traditional event.
We Celebrated April 23 with Children's Voices at our TAC Campus
23rd April in Turkey is a symbol of national sovereignty, freedom and democracy and walking in the footsteps of Atatürk... This year, April 23 also meant love, happiness of children and their warm smiles on a sunny day, for TAC.
TAC students celebrated the Children’s Day hosting students from the village school in our historic campus. In addition to a series of entertaining activities, they also improved the knowledge and skills of their young guests by involving them in academic activities.
We would like to thank TAC students for their enthusiastic involvement in this most meaningful day for children, as well as the teachers who contributed.
