A secondary school, also known as a high school or secondary education institution, is a type of business that provides education to students who are in the secondary stage of education, typically between the ages of 12 and 18. This stage comes after primary education (elementary or grade school) and may be followed by higher education (college or university).

Secondary schools are usually divided into two phases: lower secondary (also known as junior high school) and upper secondary (also known as senior … high school). The curriculum in these schools includes a broad range of subjects from languages, mathematics, science, social studies, to arts and physical education. Some secondary schools may also offer vocational or career-oriented courses.

As a business, secondary schools generate revenue through tuition fees paid by students or their parents. They may also receive funding from the government, especially if they are public schools. Other sources of income may include donations, grants, and fundraising activities.

The operation of a secondary school involves various expenses such as salaries for teachers and other staff, maintenance of facilities, purchase of educational materials, and other administrative costs. The school's management is responsible for ensuring that the school provides quality education while also maintaining financial sustainability.

In some countries, secondary education is compulsory, which means that all children are required by law to attend secondary school. This makes secondary schools an essential part of the education system and the overall development of society.
