Cantonal Schools are secondary educational institutions in Switzerland that provide a comprehensive education to students typically aged 12 to 18. Each of the 26 cantons in Switzerland has its own school system, which allows for regional variations in curriculum and educational standards. These schools often prepare students for higher education, vocational training, or apprenticeships. The curriculum at Cantonal Schools includes a wide range of subjects, such as mathematics, languages, sciences, and humanities. Many Cantonal Schools also offer specialized programs and extracurricular activities to enhance students' learning experiences. Admission is usually based on academic performance and recommendations from primary schools.
