At age of 11-12, after primary school most Turkish children take a big test to see what type of middle school they will enter. The middle school is very important since it seperates those who will succeed from those who do not. Some of those high schools (called ANADOLU LISESI or KOLEJ for private ones) have all instruction in English. They are state sponsored and do not cost tuition, just the extras like books, uniforms, transportation and food. I have educated from one of them and there were some British students as well 17-18 years ago. I think for British residents they are not asking to take an exam. The only thing they would require would be to contact your children's school in Uk.
