Istanbul Armenian Schools Continue Admitting Students from Armenia
Armenia-Born Students Can Still Attend Istanbul Armenian Schools
Armenian private schools in Istanbul will continue accepting children from families living in Armenia as "guest students," according to reporting from the Istanbul Armenian newspaper Jamanak.
The policy allows Armenian families in the homeland to enroll their children in Turkish-based Armenian educational institutions. This arrangement maintains a longstanding educational pathway for Armenian students seeking schooling in the diaspora, particularly in Turkey's Armenian community centers.
The decision reflects ongoing connections between Armenian communities across borders and the role private schools play in serving diaspora populations. Istanbul's Armenian schools have historically served as educational anchors for the Turkish-Armenian minority while also accommodating students from the broader Armenian world.
