Concept History

Back in 1999, a small group of educators, engineers and academics founded Horizon Science Academy Cleveland and Horizon Science Academy Columbus in Ohio, both of which went on to receive the National Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Department of Education. The group, which included Turkish-American educators, developed what has evolved into a proven successful school design that Concept implements in all of its schools today. Part of this visionary team was our current CEO, Sedat Duman, and Vice President, Salim Ucan.

Upon attaining a high level of success with HSA Cleveland and HSA Columbus, the same team went on to found Concept Schools as part of their replication model in 2003. Since then Concept has grown to manage and/or operate 31 schools in seven different states in the United States. In such as short time, Concept has become one of the most sought-after organizations when it comes to STEM- focused charter schools

Our Difference

Concept Schools offer students an individually-focused learning plan that guides them towards graduation and acceptance into colleges and universities. With a highly-skilled staff composed of STEM-educated professionals, students learn from teachers who are experts in their fields. The benefits of Concepts Schools over a traditional public school include:

  1. Smaller class sizes
  2. Individualized education
  3. Higher standards and expectations
  4. Visits from teachers and administrators in the home
  5. Rigorous curriculum
  6. College counselors and frequent college visits
