The study period of the school giving western style education was four years. Since the number of students of the school continuously increased, it appeared the necessity of moving to a larger building.

In the 1892-1893 educational year, the boarding section and also the secondary section were added and the study period of the school was increased to seven years. Between the years of 1887-1894, 56 students graduated from the idâdî. Grad students were generally Turkish and Muslims. However, a few Rum, Armenian and Jewish students were among the graduates. The idâdî's having received intensive interest from the locals led to the opening of various departments and the construction of additional buildings in the advancing years. In 1903, the agriculture, trade and art branches of Bursa Mekteb-i Idâdî-i Mulki were opened. The construction of the chemistry laboratory, library, dormitory, cafeteria and playtime sections of the school was finished and put into service in 1906.
