Significado
To go to school regularly for education.
Contexto cultural
Education is a state matter (Ländersache), so the types of schools one might 'besuchen' vary by region (e.g., Hamburg vs. Bavaria). The term 'Matura' is the goal for those who 'besuchen' a higher secondary school, similar to the German 'Abitur'. Vocational training is highly respected; many 'besuchen' a 'Berufsschule' as part of an apprenticeship.
Resume Power
Always use 'besuchen' in your CV. It sounds much more professional than 'gehen'.
No Prepositions
Never say 'besuchen in die Schule'. It's a direct connection: besuchen + die Schule.
