Information technology and software courses are taught theoretically and practically in Irmak Schools. In order to create individuals who are lifelong learners and responsible for their age, students are provided with areas where they can use technology to facilitate their lives inside and outside the classroom. With the perspective of “a school society where there are no limits to access to information”, our students can access information regardless of time and space through the use of information technology. Our courses support constructivist and student-centered teaching to facilitate and realize inquiry-based learning and individualized teaching. In addition to technology skills, our students are given the opportunity to develop 21st century skills that will be useful in all areas of life, such as problem solving, communication, teamwork, planning, decision-making, evaluation, and creativity through coding and programming.
