Kabataş Erkek Lisesi or Kabataş High School, also known as "Kabataş Mekteb-i İdâdisi" in Ottoman Turkish, is a high school in Istanbul. It is one of the most renowned and influential high schools of modern Turkey.

History

Established in 1908 by the Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II, the high school educated new generations for the Islamic World. During the Balkan Wars, Kabataş sent numerous students for the battle.
