The mission of the Berkeley Turkish School is to inspire the children of the Turkish American community and aid in their ability to understand, speak, read, and write Turkish. In addition, the students learn about their cultural heritage through creative play, songs, traditions, geography, history, and literature.

Our intent is to create an environment where our school enhances our students' self-confidence and provides a setting that encourages forming of new friendships with other Turkish speaking children.

We are a volunteer based non profit public charity and expect parents to be actively involved and volunteer their time during the weekend classes.

We are currently accepting students from ages from 3 to 12. At the begining of the year we will be forming classroom groups to accommodate their needs and levels of Turkish fluency appropriately. We offer classes on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM for students with multiple levels of fluency in Turkish.
