Education in grades 8 - 9 is conducted according to the national curriculum for basic schools, and graduates receive a basic education diploma. To graduate from basic education, you must submit a creative project during grade 8 and pass exams in Estonian language, mathematics, and one elective subject at the end of grade 9.

Education from grades 10 to 12 follows the national high school curriculum, and graduates receive a high school diploma.
