The mission of the Health and Education Foundation is to insure the improvement and sustainability of its long established educational institutions which operate according to international standards and to raise individuals who exhibit a high level of academic performance and social awareness in response to a developing and changing world.   

The Health and Education Foundation aims to carry the strong traditions of the past into the future through its institutions and in their respective fields of operation. Through the SEV American High Schools which enjoy an important place historically speaking within the Turkish education system, the Foundation raises students who model care and respect to their immediate and wider community, who exhibit self-confidence, and who are able to set and realize their goals. The Foundation also expands its high quality education and health services to a wider audience, while at the same time providing reputable benchmark publications which include those that lead the sector in children’s literature. 

SEV is committed to constant improvement, remaining current with technology and new developments, while preserving its core values. SEV is governed by a Board of Trustees, the majority of which are alumni of the SEV American Schools, and a Board of Directors elected by the Board of Trustees. Members of both of these boards serve on a voluntary basis
