Story of black and yellow: With the beginning of the First World War, some parts of the buildings of school were converted into a hospital, and as an indication, the building was painted yellow as a sign of hope. When all the 50 volunteered senior students fell during the Battle of Gallipoli at Kabatepe, on May 19, 1915 at 3:30 am, the remaining students painted all the windows and the doors of the school in black in memoriam.
We have come together !
We are proud to announce that Istanbul Lisesi alumni have started the foundation of Istanbul Lisesi Alumni Association of America !
Istanbul Lisesi Alumni Association of America will be a non-profit US-based alumni association providing information and services to Istanbul Lisesi graduates, family and friends living in United States of America.
Our goal is to support Istanbul Lisesi by keeping friends of our society and Istanbul Lisesi alumni in touch with school and one another, as well as supporting efforts and work of all foundations of our society and trustees.
We will make an official announcement of foundation once we are done with legal requirements.
We appreciate your help and support.
