The Kantonsschule Rämibühl at the Rämistrasse in Zurich, founded in 1832 as "Oberrealschule" consists of four Kantonsschulen (Sekundarstufe I&II) with different curricular profiles. The four schools, which are attended by more than 2000 students in total, are the Literargymnasium, the Realgymnasium, the Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium and the Kunst- und Sportgymnasium Rämibühl.

The Literargymnasium and the Realgymnasium, which focus on languages and humanities, are the only Swiss state-run schools that offer an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Thus, in grades 9-12, some classes are taught in English (the primary language of the school being German). The Literaturgymnasium also offers extensive courses in Classics including Latin and classical Greek.^[1]

Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium Rämibühl

The Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium Rämibühl (MNG) is particularly strong in mathematics and science. The usual duration of attendance is 4 years. After 2 years, students decide to focus either on Biology & Chemistry or Physics & Applied Mathematics as core subjects.

The current school headmaster is Rektor Daniel Reichmuth. The vice-headmasters (Prorektor) are Susanne Kalt and Matthias Fuchs.

The Kunst- und Sportgymnasium is attended by students which have a particular talent in arts or sports. It is located in the same building as the MNG.

All the schools support music and thus there exists not only a well-known orchestra but also various school bands as well as a Department for individual musical education.
