To study all the way to a 12th “grade” might sound strange to you. But not to an American student.
Most Americans have six years of primary school and six years of secondary school. Each year is called a grade.
From about age six, American children have six years of primary school. During those six years, the children learn to read and write and do easy maths. They also learn history, science, health and PE. Students in grades one through six usually only have one teacher for each year. They stay in the same classroom with the same students for all of their different subjects.
Secondary school has two parts: junior high school (sometimes called middle school) and high school. In the seventh grade, students begin to learn more subjects. They usually have between six and eight different classes per day. Each class has different students, and each one is taught by a different teacher.
Students have even more freedom in senior high. Most students begin to study a foreign language like Latin, Spanish or French. There are also classes in business, computers, and also courses like auto mechanics or farming. Besides their required classes, students can also choose a few classes that they’re interested in, like art, choir or woodworking.
In most places in the US, students can drop out of school at age 16. But most kids choose to stay. After students finish school, they can choose to start working, go to school for two years to learn a profession, or go to college.
