Beyoğlu Anatolian High School

In 1849, it was donated by Sultan Abdülmecid to Lady Stratford de Redcliffe, the wife of the British Ambassador Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, for the education of the daughters of members of the British Embassy.
The building and its grounds, which began providing education under the name High School for Girls, were later donated by Lady Stratford de Redcliffe to the British Embassy.
As the school building was old and inadequate, the present school building, one of the distinguished examples of Pera architecture, was constructed in 1901.

The school, which was interrupted many times until 1920, operated as the English High School until 1979.
In 1979, following the decision taken by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to close British state-supported schools abroad, the school was transferred to the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Türkiye.
In 1980, it took the name Beyoğlu Anatolian High School.
The historic building, which preserves its original state, was visited in 1971 by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and Princess Anne.
The façade of the building reflects the eclectic style of the period; it draws attention with its stone workmanship and symmetrical arrangement. This style was widespread in late 19th-century Beyoğlu architecture.
