History: The foundation of Eyuboglu Schools was laid in 1970 when Dr Eyuboglu opened -Ari Dershanesi- which was an institution that offered specialized university preparation courses and coaching for university entrance exams. In 1985, Dr. Eyuboglu founded Eyuboglu High School at a site in Kadikoy district of Istanbul. Offering education to 330 students when it was first founded, the High School moved to its present purpose-built campus in Camlica in 1988. The same year, Kadikoy Primary School was opened in the building that was vacated by Eyuboglu High School. Today, Eyuboglu Schools have approximately 2,600 students in total. The Camlica site gradually developed. In 1993, the Science High School was opened and the campus facilities were enriched with the addition of a Teachers’ Study Hall, Eyuboglu Library, offering over 57,000 books and resources in six languages , and Eyuboglu Hall, which includes a theater of 500 people capacity and a number of science laboratories. The guesthouse that had been accommodating Eyuboglu’s national and international guests and in-service training groups since 1994 was transformed into the Administration Building of Eyuboglu Educational Institutions in 2001. In 1997 Eyuboglu Science High School moved to its new building within the Camlica Campus. That same year the observatory/space research lab, the first in a Turkish school, was opened. Again in 1997, Eyuboglu Education and Scientific Research Foundation and Eyuboglu Education, Culture and Social Services Foundation were established and these foundations started supporting Eyuboglu Schools’ academic endeavors. In 1998 the Camlica Primary School and the open-air sports facilities were opened with a ceremony that was held in the presence of Suleyman Demirel, Turkish President of the time. In 1999, an area of 5000m² out of the open-air sports facilities was re-arranged as green space for students’ use for playing games, doing sports, etc. In 2000, especially upon Primary School students’ and parents’ demand, the second observatory was opened with a ceremony that was held in the presence of Metin Bostanci who was the Minister of Education at that time. In summer of 2002, the construction of the Sports and Arts Complex was completed. The Sports and Arts Complex, which is equipped with state of the art technology, comprises a semi-Olympic swimming pool, two gyms, archery practice court, a running track, drama, theater, choir rehearsal rooms, visual arts studios, and multi-purpose rooms in addition to a cafeteria and the school radio.

Eyuboglu Atasehir Primary School admitted students for the first time in academic year 2006-2007 followed by another Eyuboglu Kindergarten opened on Sabanci University Campus in 2007-2008 academic year.
