Senior high school
There are no near equivalents in the UK or US (which would mislead if used) so you need something which gets the age group and describes it a bit.

This is secondary education after la media and before university, so it is not primary and it is not "tertiary" or higher education, but upper secondary, where the "media" is lower secondary.
Just one example of thousands.

: Also perhaps "Sixth Form College" (UK), many of which now also offer vocational courses, and cover the last 2 years of senior school. Yes Jim! Guess you're right. In the UK it is an AS/A level subject, but best to keep it simple as the systems differ!

It would have to be a fourth fifth and lower, middel and upper sixth form college Linda. This is just normal *mainstream" upper secondary schooling.

: I think most people would consider university as higher education, while you start an istituto di istruzione superiore at the age of 13 or 14 so it is partly compulsory schooling.

II Grade Secondary Education:
I like Jim´s suggestion too, you don´t need to overdo with higher and college since until a few years ago with such a diploma you couldn´t even get access to university.

: Hi Blue. In the united states the second grade is around age 7-8, the second year of primary school, I think.

thank you Jim, then just drop the II Grade, I just noticed it is redundant anyway, Secondary Education should be enough
