Rıdvan Çelikel Anatolian High School was established by Rıdvan Çelikel, the founder of the Çelikel Education Foundation, in the Kavak district of Samsun in 2008 to meet the local demand for public education, and as a major step in improving the quality of education. The school dormitory was built in 2010. The school offers education opportunities to students from many cities of Turkey, in addition to Samsun.
In 2015, The Ministry of Education accepted the application to transform Rıdvan Çelikel Anatolian High School into a science high school with the goal of meeting a need in the region and providing a platform to carry out scientific studies by using the school’s physical infrastructure. Rıdvan Çelikel Science High School has been serving since 2015-2016 academic year.
The school has become a “Project School” in 2018.
