We celebrated April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s Day with enthusiasm, both with the children of the world at our New York Consulate General and online with our students.

The paintings of all our children who participated in our “Peace in the World”-themed painting competition organized for April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s Day and UNESCO World Art Day, which attracted great attention, were exhibited at the New York Turkish House. We would like to thank Mr. Bedri BAYKAM, who is the jury president of our competition, and our other jury members. We wish all our participating children a productive year. His award-winning works are below.

Language is a transmitter of culture. A nation’s history, values, folklore, music, literature, scientific knowledge and worldview are all parts of that nation’s culture. All these common values ​​are transferred to future generations through language. We are a school that is committed to teaching different parts of our culture to our children aged 5-14, by using our native language and creating a sense of community. 

Dear Members , NY Ataturk School’s Families  and  colleagues,
