Welcome to Pre-Prep School

The Perfect Start | Ages 3 to 5 years

Opening September 2026

At RGS İstanbul, we believe that a child’s early years should be filled with wonder, discovery, and joy. These are the years when the foundations for a lifelong love of learning are built, a time when confidence grows, curiosity blossoms and imaginations take flight.

As a Founding Family, your child will be among the first to experience our world class Early Years setting. We provide a vibrant, inclusive and nurturing environment where every child will be known, valued and celebrated from their very first day.

The Pre-Prep Advantage

Unique to our Pre-Prep School, RGS İstanbul offers a revolutionary schedule, designed to support both child development and modern family life.

48 Week Coverage

While the senior school follows traditional terms, our Early Years department will remain open for 48 weeks a year.

During traditional school holidays, our youngest learners will enjoy a curated programme of sensory play, physical literacy and creative discovery, ensuring consistency and eliminating learning loss.

The Extended Day

Our daily rhythm will be thoughtfully extended, allowing for a calm, unhurried pace where specialist activities like sports and the arts are integrated into the day, alongside late stay options for busy parents.

Purposeful Play

Using the EYFS Framework as our guide, we will offer a curriculum that combines intentional learning with meaningful opportunities for exploration.

Child Led Enquiry

Our approach nurtures creativity and independence. Whether experimenting with textures in sensory play or diving into storytelling, each day will be filled with laughter and discovery.

Continuous Provision

Children will be encouraged to think independently and explore our indoor and outdoor learning zones at their own pace.

Specialist Lessons

From the very beginning, our Pre-Prep students will benefit from specialist-led sessions in Music, PE, Art and Languages (Turkish and English).

Our Learning Spaces

Our visionary campus will feature bright, age appropriate learning zones designed to spark imaginative thinking. From dedicated ‘messy play’ areas to secure outdoor discovery gardens, every space will be a sanctuary for growth.

Student Wellbeing

Emotional wellbeing will be woven into every part of the day.  At RGS İstanbul, kindness sits at the heart of our relationships. Our Early Years team will create a warm culture where children feel safe to take risks and confident to express themselves. Through daily routines and values-led assemblies, we will help our youngest pioneers build resilience and empathy.
