SEV American College opened its doors in September 2014 after a long and thorough planning phase. SAC is the continuation of the Health and Education Foundation's other schools that were established in the mid 1800s.

Given the need in Turkey for quality high schools, particularly in Istanbul, the foundation had the vision of establishing a high school based on the traditions put into practice at the other three high schools to bring up tomorrow's successful leaders at its new and awarded school campus.
