History

It is first established in 1886[1] as Ankara İdadisi. The school changed its name several times through its history: respectively it was known as Ankara İdadisi (1886–1908), Ankara Sultanisi (1908–24), Ankara Erkek Lisesi (1924–38), and Ankara Atatürk Lisesi (1938–present). It is also known with the name Taş Mektep.

The school was rebuilt in 1937–38 by the German architects Bruno Taut[2] and Franz Hillinger.[3]

The high school selects its students with the standardized test of National Anatolian High Schools Examination.

gollark: It's a browser which is blocked.
gollark: On my long-term todo list is P2P skynet, which would mean you could host your own skynet server and have it peer with existing ones and share messages, to increase reliability.
gollark: It's been explicitly designed to give the skynet server's admin no abilities not available to its users, outside of obvious ones like blocking/modifying certain data as it goes across it.
