Transfer to secondary school: secondary school A, secondary school B, secondary school C
Transferring to secondary school: What does secondary school A, secondary school B or secondary school C mean?
When students transfer to secondary school, they complete six years of elementary school and start three years of secondary school (four years in Ticino). Around 80% of pupils make this transition. The young people deepen and expand the skills they have acquired at elementary school.
During this time, the prerequisites for vocational training or attending a secondary school are created.
In secondary school, pupils usually belong to section A or B. These are run as A classes, combined A/B classes or B classes. In section A (secondary school A), students are expected to have more demanding skills and in section B (secondary school B), basic skills are promoted and required.
If there is also a secondary school C, then extended requirements are expected in secondary school B and basic requirements in level C.
