Put an 'intermediate' switch between S1 and S2, otherwise known as DPCO or
DPDT, so you either have
/----------o---o-------------\
/                              \
a-- s1           X              s2 --b
\                              /
\----------o---o-------------/
(normal operation) Or
/----------o   o-------------\
/            \ /               \
a-- s1           X               s2 --b
\            / \               /
\----------o   o-------------/
(switched)(note, the 'X' is not a wire junction!  If it was, the light
would always be on!)

You can repeat as needed for n-way switching
