Two years later, it was turned into a high school and renamed "İnönü Lisesi" ("İnönü High School"). Later in 1945, the school underwent another transformation and took the name "Beyoğlu Kız Lisesi" ("Beyoğlu Girls' High School"), accepting only the female students. In the years 1953 and 1954 the school was renamed twice and continued to give education under the name "İstanbul Atatürk Kız Lisesi" ("Istanbul Atatürk Girls' High School") until 1985. As of 1975, the school gradually transitioned to coeducation. In 1984–85 academic year the school went through a major transformation and received the title "Anatolian High School".
