ÇAKABEY AND SPORTS
Due to the campus opportunities and the view of the school about sports, sport is not a lesson but a life style at Çakabey. The students can do sports in both the open and closed sport facilities and everywhere in the spacious green area of the school.
Playing sports is an important way to understand the benefits of sports for health, to learn leadership, to learn how to work as a team, to experience the joy of winning and the disappointment of losing, to have fun in group activities. These activities, which are run by the Physical Education Department, aim to have sport become a positive influence on the lives of students by offering them the chance to participate in school teams (junior basketball, high school basketball, girl's volleyball) and mass sport activities. Students are encouraged to take part in sports like athletics; gymnastics, football and tennis, and students with above average talent can train with their teachers.
Students are encouraged to attend national and international competitions and tournaments. Moreover, chess lessons, which develop intellectual, sporting, decision making, concentration, and perseverance skills, start with kindergarten students. Students are given the chance to improve these skills in Chess Club and private lessons.
