History
[edit]In line with the directives of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Turkish Education Association (Turkish: Türk Eğitim Derneği, abbreviated TED) was founded in 1928 and led the establishment of qualified Turkish schools.
TED Ankara College was founded in 1930 as the first school established by TED, and was the first private Turkish school instituted after the foundation of Republic of Turkiye to instruct in English. In 1931, the primary school, in 1933, the middle school, in 1936 the high school were established. In 1963, the school's administration was handed over to the TED Ankara College Foundation. In 2000, the foundation started the construction of the campus in İncek. In 2003-2004 the establishments were moved from the Kolej district, which was named after the College, to İncek and the old buildings were later reutilized as a new university.
The logo of the schools is derived from the emblem of the TED association.
