Matura schools (Gymnasium/Mittelschule): Overview
 |  | Matura schools are located in all cantons. In an extensive reform of education leading to Matura, a system allowing pupils some choice and made up of basic subjects, an in-depth subject and a supplementary subject has replaced the previous types of Matura. The schooling from the first primary classes until the Matura takes at least 12 school years. The actual commencement of the Matura school is after the obligatory schooling period (short Matura school period of three to four years), in several cantons it can also begin earlier (longer Matura school period of six to seven years). |
Legal bases
The prime legal basis is the ordinance of the Swiss Federal Council / regulations of the EDK on the recognition of Matura certificates (MAR) of 1995. The curriculum of the EDK for the Matura schools from 1994 forms the basis for the cantonal curricula.
