Interdisciplinary Activities 

If the learning is meaninful, transferable and linked to real life for the student, then it is retained. This increases the importance of interdisciplinary activities. Another application of interdisciplinary activities is school projects, where all students participate and work with several subject teachers. 

IT-Assisted Education 

At Tarsus SEV, technology finds its application in providing opportunities to children with multiple learning styles and to make learning permanent by repeating them in an interactive environment. Our IT program is structured to channel the IT-related interests of the modern day student into a positive learning experience. In computer-assisted teaching, our teachers use various software as well as some national and international academic websites to reinforce the teaching of a given unit/topic. This program is implemented with the help of our state-of-the-art IT laboratories ln the main building and the computers in the libraries. 

Library Lessons

The library lessons for each course are planned in the beginning of the academic year. According to the plan, students make research in the library under the guidance of their course teachers as well as librarians. These activities aim to impart in students the skill of reaching correct information in a prompt manner. 

Reading Program

In addition to reading in English, this program aims to introduce to students the magical world of books, to develop the habit of reading for leisure, and to support them in improving their lexical skills. 

The selection of books, finalized for each grade level at the beginning of the year are obtained by each student and during the year these books are integrated into the lesson through various activities with a comprehensive analysis. In this way, students are supported towards using reading comprehension, critical thinking and analytical skills to become readers who can draw links between prior learning and current reading material, and reach new meanings. The reading program is supported by library lessons.

Study Sessions

Tarsus SEV offers "Academic Study Sessions" on those days announced by the school administration in order to serve the individual needs of our students. The objective of the program is to tailor the academic support according to student's specific needs. Students who will participate in these sessions are identified by teachers based on assessment results and observations. Assessment results inform the selection of students who will attend study sessions while they are also used to offer academic support to students in small study groups. 

Thinking Skills Education 

The thinking skills education in our school is implemented in A-5 grade level. The aim of these classes which use Mind Lab methodologies are to develop basic life skills in students as well as thinking skills, and to help their development as self-conscious individuals who are aware of their potentials.
