The Kantonsschule Rämibühl at the Rämistrasse in Zurich, founded 1832 as "Oberrealschule" consists of four Kantonsschulen (high schools) with different profiles. The four schools, which are attended by more than 2000 students in total, are the Literargymnasium, the Realgymnasium, the Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium and the Kunst- und Sportgymnasium Rämibühl.
The Literargymnasium and the Realgymnasium, which focus on languages and humanities, offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as only Swiss state-run schools. Thus, in grades 9-12, one class is taught some of the subjects in English (the primary language of the school being German).
The Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium is particularly strong in mathematics and science.
The Kunst- und Sportgymnasium is attended by students which have a particular talented in music or sports.
All the schools support music and thus there exists not only a well-known orchestra but also various school bands as well as a Department for individual musical education.
