Algemene middelbare school or AMS (Dutch, "general secondary school") was during part of the twentieth century a level of education in the Netherlands (and also the Dutch East Indies^[1][2] and Suriname), comparable with the high school level in the US education system. Its successors were the mavo and vbo, now both replaced by vmbo.
