The prerequisite for attending a grammar school is the completion of compulsory schooling with good grades. Each canton determines how high the grades and qualifications must be. The cantonal conditions must be observed. In some cases, admission is also possible via a "grammar school entrance examination".

In addition to these short-term grammar schools, there is also the long-term grammar school in German-speaking Switzerland, which lasts six years and is entered after elementary school. The aim of the Gymnasium is to promote intellect, personal development and health, personal learning and working techniques, the acquisition of knowledge and the use of information technology as well as skills in social, ethical, political, scientific, communicative, cultural and aesthetic areas. The Matura examination takes place in writing in five subjects (supplemented by oral examinations: First language, second national language, mathematics, major subject and one other subject. Students who wish to take the Baccalaureate can attend a recognized baccalaureate school for adults, which lasts at least three years. However, the examination can also be taken without attending school.
