In Slovak education system Gymnasium is a type of school with a strong emphasis on academic learning providing advanced secondary education.

The closest British equivalent to this are Grammar schools.

Slovak education system is well illustrated in this chart.

A very common progression (which implies to me as well) is:

◦ Primary school – 9 years (age 6 – 15)
◦ Secondary school (Gymnasium) – 4 years (age 15 – 19)
◦ University
Bachelor’s – 3 years
Master’s – 2 years
