Secondary school is a term used to describe an educational institution where the final stage of compulsory schooling, known as secondary education, takes place. It follows on from elementary or primary education. There are many different types of secondary school, and the terminology used varies around the world. Children usually transfer to secondary school between the ages of 10 and 16 years, and finish between the ages of 16–18 years, though there is considerable variation from country to country. In Ireland A secondary school is a school that students attend after finishing primary education/school.These students are typically aged between 12 and 18. It has 6 grades but some schools allow their students to skip 4th year/grade.These schools are equivalent to a United States High School although the number of students in each class is usually smaller(around 20 students) and students tend to receive more personal attention. In Canada, secondary school refers to high school (grades 8-12).
