High School (Theyka)

They are usually attended by teenagers, aged approximately 14 to 18. Access to a high school is only possible for students with a middle school diploma.

Public Schools
All children in Theyka are guaranteed the right to enroll in a public high school, regardless of nationality, religion, gender, ability or economic status. Public schools are administered and mostly funded by the takiwas (municipalities), although a number of federal laws dictate how schools have to be administered and run. Every takiwa is required to have a highschool, and they may vary in size: the smallest high school in Theyka can only educate up to 50 pupils in total, while high schools in major cities can educate up to 5000 pupils at any time.

Private Schools
Private schools are administered and operate by private entities. Although they are technically independent, they are required to follow federal guidelines regarding education. Private schools do not count for the takiwa high school requirements. As of 2018, only 3.9% of Theykan students attended private schools.

Homeschooling is not allowed in Theyka.

Typical Day
Although takiwas regulate the schedules of the high schools resulting in slight differences, a typical high school day in Theyka includes:
 * Students arriving between 7:50 and 9:00 in the morning;
 * 5 to 7 40-60 minute periods, with 5-10 minute breaks in between periods;
 * Lunch break (few schools offer lunches on-site);
 * Optional afterschool activities (sports, arts and other activities, depending on school).

Theykan high schools mostly do not have afternoon classes. Theykan schools also assign relatively little written homework, although bigger project-like group assignments are given quite often to enhance social skills.

Although most elective classes are structured on 4 levels (matching the schoolyears) some only offer 1 or 2 levels. This system makes it possible for example, for freshmen and seniors to attend the same elective class at the same time. This is considered to help the pupils acquire more social skills.
