Secondary school is the name used for the last segment of compulsory secondary education in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Spain, Hong Kong, India, the Republic of Ireland, Israel, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mauritius, New Zealand, the Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, the People's Republic of China, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is preceded by primary education.
In the non-English speaking world there exist the words Mittelschule, hogeschool, högskola, høgskole, højskole, escola secundária (or liceu), in German, Dutch/Flemish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Portuguese respectively. All these literally translate to high school or secondary school in English, but they all refer to institutes of tertiary education.
Junior high school covers a period of education that straddles primary education and secondary education, serving as a bridge between the two. The terms can be used in different ways in different countries. The concept itself dates back to 1909, with the founding of Indianola Junior High School in Columbus, Ohio.
