Secondary School Secondary school A secondary school is an organization that provides secondary education and the building where this takes place. Some secondary schools provide both lower secondary education and upper secondary education (levels 2 and 3 of the ISCED scale), but these can also be provided in separate schools, as in the American middle and high school system. Secondary schools typically follow on from primary schools and prepare for vocational or tertiary education. Attendance is usually compulsory for students until the age of 16. The organisations, buildings, and terminology are more or less unique in each Tóth Árpád Gimnázium, a secondary school in Debrecen, country.[1][2] Hungary Contents Levels of education Terminology: descriptions of cohorts Theoretical framework Building design specifications Secondary schools by country See also References External links Levels of education In the ISCED 2011 education scale levels 2 and 3 correspond to secondary education which are as follows: Lower secondary education- First stage of secondary education building on primary education, typically with a more subject-oriented curriculum. Students are generally around 12-15 years old Upper secondary education- Second stage of secondary education and final stage of formal education for students typically aged 16–18, preparing for tertiary/adult education or providing skills relevant to employment. Usually with an increased range of subject options and streams. Terminology: descriptions of cohorts Within the English speaking world, there are three widely used systems to describe the age of the child. The first is the 'equivalent ages', then countries that base their education systems on the 'English model' use one of two methods to identify the year group, while countries that base their systems on the 'American K-12 model' refer to their year groups as 'grades'. The Irish model is structured similarly to the English model, but have significant differences in terms of labels. This terminology extends into research literature. Below is a convenient comparison [3] Secondary cohorts- description used in US, UK and ROI Equivalent ages 11–12 12–13 13–14 14–15 15–16 16–17 17–18 U.S. (grades) 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 U.S. (nicknames) Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior England/Wales First Second Third Fourth Fifth Lower Sixth Upper Sixth (forms) England/Wales 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 (year) Ireland (Other Junior Junior Junior Transition Senior Senior Names) Cycle Cycle Cycle Year Cycle Cycle Ireland (Class & 6th 1st Year 2nd Year 3rd Year 4th Year 5th Year 6th Year year) Class Scotland S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 (secondary) ISCED level 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 [3] Theoretical framework School building design does not happen in isolation. The building (or school campus) needs to accommodate: Curriculum content Teaching methods Costs Education within the political framework Use of school building (also in the community setting) Constraints imposed by the site High school in Bratislava, Slovakia Design philosophy (Gamča) Each country will have a different education system and priorities. [4] Schools need to accommodate students, staff, storage, mechanical and electrical systems, support staff, ancillary staff and administration. The number of rooms required can be determined from the predicted roll of the school and the area needed. According to standards used in the United Kingdom, a general classroom for 30 students needs to be 55 m2, or more generously 62 m2. A general art room for 30 students needs to be 83 m2, but 104 m2 for 3D textile work. A drama studio or a specialist science laboratory for 30 needs to be 90 m2. Examples are given on how this can be configured for a 1,200 place secondary (practical specialism).[5] and 1,850 place secondary school.[6] Building design specifications The building providing the education has to fulfil the needs of: The students, the teachers, the non-teaching support staff, the administrators and the community. It has to meet general government building guidelines, health requirements, minimal functional requirements for classrooms, toilets and showers, electricity and services, preparation and storage of textbooks and basic teaching aids. [7] An optimum secondary school will meet the minimum conditions and will have: The first taxpayer-funded public adequately sized classrooms; school in the United States was in specialised teaching spaces; Dedham. a staff preparation room; an administration block; multipurpose classrooms; a general purpose school hall; laboratories for science, technology, mathematics and life sciences, as may be required; adequate equipment; a library or library stocks that are regularly renewed; and computer rooms or media centres.[7] Government accountants having read the advice then publish minimum guidelines on schools. These enable environmental modelling and establishing building costs. Future design plans are audited to ensure that these standards are met but not exceeded. Government ministries continue to press for the 'minimum' space and cost standards to be reduced. The UK government published this downwardly revised space formula in 2014. It said the floor area should be 1050m2 (+ 350m2 if there is a sixth form) + 6.3m2/pupil place for 11- to 16-year-olds + 7m2/pupil place for post-16s. The external finishes were to be downgraded to meet a build cost of £1113/m2. [8] Secondary schools by country A secondary school locally may be called high school or senior high school. In some countries there are two phases to secondary education (ISCED 2) and (ISCED 3), here the junior high school, intermediate school, lower secondary school, or middle school occurs between the primary school (ISCED 1) and high school.

Guillory Jr., PhD, Chief Schools Officer DATE: September 27, 2019 RE: Update on the Latin Lyceum The following report is in response to a motion by Gerard Nutter & Andy Descoteaux: Administration to explain the change in philosophy regarding class location for the Latin Lyceum and Freshman Academy. Robert DeLossa prepared a response for Head of Lowell High School Busteed. The entirety of the response is reflected herein. From: Robert DeLossa To: Marianne Busteed Date: 25 September 2019 RE: Response to School Committee Motion with regard to the change of Freshman location to FA for Lyceum Students With regard to the question of whether the decision to house the teachers of Freshman Lyceum students in the Freshman Academy reflected a change of philosophy underlying the Lowell Latin Lyceum, I can state categorically that it did not. The underlying philosophy of the LLL remains the same as it has since the beginning of the Lyceum. Below I will point to two different areas to consider. The first is that the move to the Freshman Academy actually is more consistent with the philosophy of the Lyceum than the previous arrangement. Second, the move to the Freshman Academy better supports the individual needs of Lyceum students, who because of their academic giftedness and creativity, often need more social-emotional support than the previous arrangement provided. That support is physically located in the Freshman Academy.

The term “migration back- all. Germany is no exception. And yet, ground” covers children from families in Germany, children of varied ethnic who are still perceived as “foreigners” and racial backgrounds have vastly because of their racial or ethnic identity, different educational opportunities and even though their families may have experiences. arrived in Germany years ago. This should no longer be a surprise. In 2001, an influential European study shocked Germans with the news that their country, which long had prided itself on its excellent educational system, was at the low end of the compara- tive spectrum. The study, undertaken in 2000 by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) (an arm of the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD)), showed that German children did poorly in reading, math, and science, in comparison to students from 56 other countries. The PISA study described the deep flaws in the German education system. In particular, it explained that at-risk students—including those of migration, or migrant, backgrounds—performed among the worst in the world. They were more often tracked into the lowest level Hauptschule; they were excluded from the best classrooms; and they had far fewer opportunities to attend Gymnasium, which meant they were not permitted to take the state Abitur examination and attend university.

To learn more about the Lyceum Institute, visit: https://lyceum.institute 1. THE NATURAL HUMAN GOOD “All human beings, by nature, long for knowledge.”1 They are familiar words—the first line of Aristotle’s Metaphysics—and have righteously inspired reflections on human nature, operation, and the good at which they aim for millennia. To long for knowledge: not merely to want it for some ulterior motive—such as making money, or power, or defeating your enemies—but for its own sake. We want to know because knowledge is fulfilling for us. This is what Aristotle meant, and this fulfillment by knowledge, indeed, is what we long for by nature. Many, it is sad to say, have had this natural longing diverted by the proliferation of easy and lesser pleasures—why read, when you can watch a documentary; and why watch a documentary, when you can watch a comedy—as well as by institutions of learning which diverged from developing or fulfilling the desire for knowledge, towards conveying standardized sets of information.
