Key Differences from Standard High Schools:
The main difference lies in the significantly higher emphasis on religious studies. While standard Turkish high schools may offer some religious education, it's a far smaller component of the curriculum compared to Imam Hatip schools. The amount of time dedicated to religious subjects in Imam Hatip schools is considerably greater. Also, some subjects in Imam Hatip schools may have a more religiously-infused approach, even within the seemingly secular subjects.
It's important to note that the curriculum of Imam Hatip schools has been a subject of political debate in Turkey, with varying perspectives on the balance between religious and secular education. Therefore, the actual content and emphasis can vary depending on the specific school and the prevailing political climate.
