'''St. George's Austrian High School''' ({{lang-tr|Sankt Georg Avusturya Lisesi}}, {{lang-de|Österreichisches Sankt Georgs-Kolleg}}) is a private [[Austria]]n-[[Turkey|Turkish]] high school located in [[Karaköy]], [[Beyoğlu]], [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sg.k12.tr/kontakt/|title=Kontakt|publisher=St. George's Austrian High School|accessdate=2019-07-09|quote=Kart Çınar Sokak 2, TR-34420 Karaköy - Istanbul, Türkei}}</ref> It is one of several [[secondary school]]s that were founded by [[Europe]]an or [[United States|American]] [[Mission (Christian)|mission]]s in [[Turkey]] during the 19th century, but were then secularized after the founding of the modern [[Turkish Republic]] in 1923.

Today, the school is subject to regulation by the Turkish [[Ministry of National Education (Turkey)|Ministry of National Education]], and almost its entire student body is Turkish, but a large part of its administrative and teaching staff remains Austrian (appointed by the [[Austrian Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture]]), and it offers a mixture of Turkish and Austrian curricula in a [[bilingual]] environment.

== History ==
[[File:St. Georgs-Kolleg 1900.jpg|left|thumb|The school and church complex in 1900.]]
Sankt Georg was founded in 1882 by Austrian [[Lazarist]]s and was originally intended for [[German language|German]]-speaking [[Catholic]] children living in the [[Ottoman Empire]]. After the Ottoman (and Austrian) defeat in [[World War I]], the school was ordered closed by the occupying [[Triple Entente]] forces in Istanbul, and all of its staff was sent back to Austria. The school was reopened shortly afterwards when the [[Republic of Turkey]] was founded (1923). After the [[Anschluss|annexation of Austria]] by the [[Nazi Germany]] in 1938, the school turned into a "German school" and it was closed once again in 1944, due to the freezing of relations between Turkey and Germany. It was reopened in 1947. In 1995, the girls' and boys' schools were merged.

== Curriculum ==
The school combines both the Austrian and the Turkish curricula to prepare its students for the Turkish and Austrian school leaving examinations and to enrich their general knowledge. Under the current curriculum, students at Sankt Georg can learn up to three foreign languages. [[German language|German]] and [[English language|English]] are the two compulsory foreign languages taught at Sankt Georg. Aside from these two languages, students can choose either [[Latin]] or [[French language|French]] as their third foreign language. Most subjects (including math, sciences, philosophy and arts) are taught in German by Austrian teachers, but subjects related to Turkish culture and language (such as Turkish literature, history and geography) are taught in Turkish by Turkish teachers. Students learn German in a compulsory one-year preparatory program.

== School-leaving qualifications offered ==
* Turkish high school diploma (''Lise diploması'')
* Austrian [[Matura#Matura in Austria|Matura]]: Students wishing to pursue their [[tertiary education]] at [[List of universities in Austria|universities in Austria]], or in the [[European Union]], have the right to sit the Austrian ''Reifeprüfung'' examination at Sankt Georg. Once students pass the examination, they obtain the Matura certificate, which is equivalent to [[International Baccalaureate]] (IB).

== School library ==
{{expand section|date=June 2012}}
The current school library opened in 1988, after 2 small libraries within the school building were brought together. As of 2020, it contains more than 26,000 books, 20 periodicals/magazines in Turkish, German and English, and CDs/DVDs.

== Alumni ==
Alumni of Sankt Georg gather every year in the last week of April at a re-union called "Strudeltag". Another annual re-union is organised around May in [[Vienna]], which is intended for the graduates of Sankt Georg living/studying in Austria or in other European countries.
