[edit] History

In 1990 Sezai Türkeş founded the İnanç Foundation (İnanç Vakfi) in his late wife İnanç Türkeş’s name. The foundation aimed to educate underprivilaged gifted and talented Turkish students and started Özel İnanç Lisesi in 1993 with 30 students. In its full capacity, the school planned on having 210 students in 7 grades.

Starting in 1995, the school experienced financial problems and opted to stop the construction of its campus.

In 1997, due to changes in the education system of Turkey, Özel İnanç Lisesi dropped the middle school section.

In 2002, due to further financial hardship, the administration of Özel İnanç Lisesi was handed over to Türk Eğitim Vakfı (Turkish Education Foundation) and the school's name was changed to TEV İnanç Türkeş Özel Lisesi.
