Our school is located in a rural town of Black Sea coast called Bolaman which is 9 km from Fatsa, Ordu. It provides education for both primary and secondary parts in the same building. Our school has 514 students (234 in primary school, 280 in secondary school) aged 6-14 years, 43 teachers (17 in primary school, 26 in secondary school), a headteacher and 2 vice-headteachers. Our classes are usually between 15 and 20 students. ​       Most of our students arrive at our school by transport from neighboring villages and are members of different social groups. They usually come from disadvantaged families (families with low-income and problematic relationships, different generations living together). Therefore, there are many problems in providing parent-school cooperation and the school is the only place for such kind of students where they can develop their interests and skills. They are not supported educationally by their parents.
