Abstract	The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the effects of war on Syrian students' academic success. No one can deny the fact that wars have direct and indirect effects on children. Besides, no one can deny the fact that not only soldiers are targets in wars, but also children, women, and even old people are, who altogether make a society. In a war, social life ends, medical life ends, educational life ends, and worst of all, innocent lives end. As a result of these dreadful conditions, children terribly suffer from the effects of war, even if they achieve to survive. Being highly depressed their chance of becoming constructive individuals in the future declines. With all these in mind, we inquired the course grades of secondary and high school Syrian war victims studying in Adana city, Turkey. Furthermore, we applied a semi-structured interview in the mother tongue of the respondents, in our case Arabic language, to clarify the views of these war victims. Based upon a comparative descriptive research design, in order to see the effects of war on academic success, we analyzed Syrian students' course grades, which were scored before and after the war in Syria.
