A gymnasium (pronounced with a [ɡ] in several languages) is a type of school providing advanced secondary education in some parts of Europe, comparable to English grammar schools or sixth form colleges and U.S.

college preparatory high schools. (The picture above illustrates a gymnasium building in Sweden).

The word γυμνάσιον (gymnasion) was used in Ancient Greece, meaning a locality for both physical and intellectual education of young men (see gymnasium (ancient Greece). 

The system of structuring Gymnasium schools spread foth from Greece, to Rome, and from Rome (being Europe) it was introduced to the different nations in Africa, Asia, North America, South America etc via colonialism. 


In English the word Gymnasium means; a place for physical education or learning where the western intellect and western culture of the western system is inplanted into the human conscious. 

The Gymnasium prepares pupils to enter a university for advanced academic study.

In addition to the usual curriculum, students of a gymnasium often study Latin and Ancient Greek.

In Denmark, Estonia, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Latvia, Norway, America, and Sweden, gymnasium consists of three years, usually starting at age 16 after nine or ten years of primary school.

In all of Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, education is meant to be for free. So that all the people who reside in a European society may get a chance of going through gymnasium studies, thus making it easier for the industrial system, and the Economic field of business, to be able to make their citizines into people who will be dedicated to the service of their government via employment (salary paying etc).
