From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Secondary school is the institution in which the last segment of compulsory education takes place in many countries. In some countries, especially in North America, secondary schools are known as high schools. Secondary schools provide a secondary education, a period of education which, in most contemporary educational systems of the world, follows directly after primary education, and which may be followed by tertiary, "post-secondary," or "higher" education such as a college or university.
