Core offering

Kantonsschule Wohlen delivers tuition-free public secondary education through a four-year Gymnasium program culminating in the Swiss Matura and a three-year Fachmittelschule (FMS) program with four Fachmaturität specializations (Pädagogik, Gesundheit, Soziale Arbeit, Gestaltung). It supplements classroom instruction with a digital learning stack (Microsoft 365, Moodle, schulNetz), a media library (Mediothek), instrumental music tuition, and a wide range of extracurricular and cultural programs.

Product overview

Kantonsschule Wohlen operates as a public secondary school in Wohlen, Switzerland, offering two primary educational programs: the four-year Gymnasium (pre-university/Matura track) and the three-year Fachmittelschule (FMS, specialized secondary school). The Gymnasium prepares students for university admission through comprehensive academic instruction across core subjects, elective concentrations, and specialization tracks including languages, sciences, arts, and economics. The FMS provides vocational-oriented education across four career fields (Education, Health, Social Work, Design), culminating in a Fachmaturität diploma qualifying graduates for universities of applied sciences. Supporting infrastructure includes the Mediothek (library/media center), digital learning platforms (Moodle, Office 365/SharePoint, schulNetz), cafeteria services, instrumental music instruction, and extensive extracurricular programs including cultural events (Kantiforum), UNESCO projects, European Youth Parliament, mini-company programs (YES!), and sports facilities. The school campus features architecture by Santiago Calatrava and serves approximately 1,000 students.
