Beyoğlu Anatolian High School (Turkish: Beyoğlu Anadolu Lisesi), initially founded as the English High School for Girls (EHSG) in 1849, stands as one of Turkey’s oldest educational institutions.

[2] From 1842-1858, during Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe's tenure as the British Ambassador in Istanbul, Lady Redcliffe founded a middle school for girls associated with the embassy personnel in 1849, named High School For Girls.

The school, however, had to close for six years during the Crimean War (1853-1856) and the site and building were donated to the British Embassy by Lady Redcliffe.

On October 24, 1971, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Anne visited the school.

[3] With the Republic's enactment of the "Education Unity" Law in 1943, the curriculum was reorganized according to the new legal standards.
