History
The original building, which unfortunately exists no more, dates back to before World War I and was built by the Franciscan Capuchin Order. The building was inhabited by the followers of this sect for many years. After the National Ministry of Education decided to open a high school in the Kadikoy district, negotiations that lasted many years took place between the ministry and the Capuchins. In 1955 the school opened as Kadıköy Maarif. In 1968 a second building was added to the school which served as a dormitory. In 1976 and 1977 two more buildings were added. For many years it was ranked as the biggest highschool in the Balkans.
After a new education structure was established in the Ministry of Education, the School's name changed from Kadikoy Maarif Koleji to its present name, Kadikoy Anadolu Lisesi (KAL). Like Galatasaray High School and Istanbul High School, it used to have 2-years English preparation period and an independent curriculum, but from the year 2006 the system has changed. From that time the school has 1-year prep and 4 years of lycee education. With over 1500 students, and a 94.1 percent university entrance level, it has always been one of the most important schools in Turkey.
