Certainly, there are many globally recognized high schools due primarily to academic excellence, unique studying approaches, or prestigious alumni. Here are some examples:

For researching these schools, you can start with each school's official website to learn more about what they offer. Additionally, look at news articles or reports about these schools or education systems in different countries. Not all the information might be in one place, so your research may involve piecing together information from various sources.
