Following the lower Secondary students may attend a three or four year optional upper Secondary school followed by some form of Tertiary school or they may enter an apprenticeship.[16]

There were no kindergarten classes in the municipality.[17] The municipality had 2 primary classes and 26 students.[18] There are only nine Secondary schools in the canton, so all the students from Vermes attend their secondary school in another municipality.
