The principal aim of this study is to probe how social privileges are reproduced through schooling practices at private schools. The focus of the study was how the educational processes are constructed and vary according to students’ sociocultural and socioeconomic characteristics and which processes contribute to the reproduction of privileges. This study was designed as a qualitative case study. The data was generated through interviews with 26 students and 10 teachers from different private high schools. The Code Theory of Basil Bernstein was the theoretical framework for analysing the data. The results has shown that individuals attending to prestigious private schools are under siege in all aspects of their lives both inside and outside the school, and their lives are maintained in isolated environments and through educational and socially structured and controlled activities. Privileged is learned through social, cultural and economic advantages and is reinforced by educational experiences.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEğitimEğitim AraştırmalarıInequalityreproductionPrivate schoolsprivilegesocial classArticle55364769210.30964/auebfd.10513461142147
