Robert College turns 157 today! 🎂 “On September 16, 1863 Robert College opened its doors in its temporary quarters in Bebek, with Dr. Cyrus Hamlin its first President.” - from the May N. Fincanci book, The Story of Robert College Old and New
This morning RC held its first ever online opening ceremony through Youtube to mark the beginning of 2020-21 Academic Year. 🔔 Wishing all of our students and faculty the best of luck!
RC Community is deeply saddened by the passing of Suna Kıraç ACG 60. Our condolences go to the Kıraç and Koç families in these difficult times. Her alma mater will always remember her fondly for her dedication as a Trustee and her generous support. 🎥
Today marks 50 years of co-education at Robert College! In 1971 the original RC campus in Bebek was given to Boğaziçi University. The boys from Robert Academy joined the girls from the American College for Girls on our campus, and they have been studying side by side ever since.

On this day in 1863, Robert College opened its doors at Bebek, with Cyrus Hamlin as the first president of the School.

Atatürk’ün ifade ettigi gibi, Cumhuriyet fikri hür, vicdanı hür, irfanı hür nesiller ister. O’nun izinde, kuruluşuna şahitlik ettiğimiz Cumhuriyet'i ileriye taşıyacak gençler yetiştirmek için var gücümüzle çalışıyoruz. 29 Ekim Cumhuriyet Bayramımız kutlu olsun.
On this day, we thank all teachers for their hard work, devotion, and love they put into teaching - especially at a time like this. Happy

She was the first president of ACG. Patrick was a person of many parts-a scholar, an administrator, a fund-raiser, and a believer in certain perilously modern ideas. Today, we celebrate her birthday and her dream of excellence in education.
