This study aims at evaluating curricula of private high schools in line with opinions of teachers working at the related high schools, and identifying any related problems. Screening model is used as a quantitative research method in the study. The "element-based curriculum evaluation model" is taken as basis for evaluation of the curricula. 163 teachers working at private high schools participated in the study. The data were obtained through the survey titled "evaluation of curricula in the context of curricular elements", which was developed by researcher. According to the findings obtained from the research, it was found out that the teachers who participated in the study took part in all curricular elements (achievements, content, conditions of learning and evaluation) at average level. The difference between average group scores of the participant teachers regarding achievement, content and conditions of learning by the variables of gender, years of service and learning area was found statistically insignificant.
