Ceremonies

Ceremonies at BELS represent a vital part of our students’ lives. Celebrating local and national holidays is essential so that students can illustrate the importance of their Turkish culture and identity as they venture through a combined international and MEB curriculum. Students and teachers recreate historical events through songs, dances and texts appropriate for each occasion.
