This is out of date; this is when he was a kid. Now, it is as follows: Pre-Kindergarten (4-5) Elementary: Kindergarten (5-6) 1st Grade (6-7) 2nd Grade (7-8) 3rd Grade (8-9) 4th Grade (9-10) 5th (10-11) Middle School: 6th Grade (11-12) 7th Grade (12-13) 8th Grade (13-14) High School 9th Grade Freshman (14-15) 10th Grade Sophomore (15-16) 11th Grade Junior (16-17) 12th Grade Senior (17-18) Hope this helped
In England it's: Primary school "infants" Reception (4-5 yrs old) Year 1 (5-6) Year 2 (6-7) Primary school "juniors" Year 3 (7-8) Year 4 (8-9) Year 5 (9-10) Year 6 (10-11) High School Year 7 (11-12) Year 8 (12-13) Year 9 (13-14) Year 10 (14-15) Year 11 (15-16) Either Sixth form or College (16-18) University (18+)
you learn to learn, to think, to argue, to solve problems, to work in a team, to understand different opinions, to reflect your own opinions, to manage time and Ressources etc.
I am Venezuelan in here and most of latin América we have this simple system: day care: 6months - 2years old preschool : 3-5 primary school: 1st to 6th grade secondary school: 7th to 12 grade THAT'S IT
Mason Emoli It's because you're not living in the US. It's actually very easy to understand for me because I live through it. I tried to learn about UK's education system and my brain just fell asleep. I had no idea what I was reading. But I think it's all similar in some form.
Mason Emoli UK is so Hard! Also in the usa we say college instead of uni or university. It is the same thing and you have freshmen sophomore junior and senior in college then it's grad school
Indonesia : Kinder Garden : 2 years Primary school : 6 years (minimal 6 yo) Junior High : 3 years Senior High : 3 years Bachelor Degree : 4 years Master Degree : 2 years Doctoral Degree : 3 years
School system in Belgium is a bit easier: 6 years of 'lower school' then 6 years of 'highschool', you graduate highschool when 18y old and then can choose to go to college or universities (or start to work) :)
Meanwhile in Serbia: - Before the age of 6-7 there is a KINDERGARTEN. It's not compulsory and it's not available everywhere (especially in rural areas). Usually kids with both parents working go to kindergarten. - ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is compulsory and it's divided in two parts: 1. Grades 1-4 (kids age 6-7 to 10-11) where you have one teacher for all the school subjects 2. Grades 5-8 (kids age 11-12 to 14-15) where you have different teachers for every subject. - HIGH SCHOOL is not compulsory, but more than 90% of kids continue their education in high school. It lasts 3 or 4 years (kids age 15-16 to 18-19). There are different types of high schools: 1. Gymnasium (4 years) - Offers advanced secondary education and kids who go there usually plan to go to college afterwards. 2. Specialized HS (4 years) - Learning for a specific jobs like nurse, physical therapist, chef, finance/economic technician... 3. Specialized HS (3 years) - Learning to become auto mechanic, hairdresser, cook, ceramist, waiter... - COLLEGE: You can enroll in college if you finished 4 years of HS and passed the entrance exam. Most of them last 4 years, some of them 3 years, and some even 6 years (medicine). Some students don't pay the tuition but some of them do (depending on their performance). - After college, you can continue your education and get MASTER'S DEGREE or PhD. Hope i explained that well. Personally, i didn't go to kindergarten, wen't to gymnasium after elementary school and I'm currently studying software engineering at University of Belgrade (3rd year) : )
so confusing but thank you for making this video... I understand it some more now here in the Netherlands we have: primary school (basisschool) group: age: 1} kindergarten (4) 2} kindergarten. (5) 3. (6) 4. (7) 5. (8) 6. (9) 7. (10) 8. (11) secondary school (middelbare) 1th. (12) 2th. (13) 3th. (14) 4th (exams year) (15) *5th (only follow that if you have havo or vwo, so for smart people that want to) 6th (only follow that if you have vwo, for very smart people)* and then you go to college (for 2,3,4 years or longer for a specific job) and get a job.... and get money..... that's it but however if you fail a year you need to redo that and some go to kindergarten at an age of 5 instead of 4... but these are my ages
Harley .G waar ik vandaan kom volgen we ook het Nederlandse schoolsysteem, maar we hebben geen gymnasium. Kunnen 1 van jullie me uitleggen wat dat is en hoe dat werkt?
I love you, coach! Your videos are awesome! Your voice, your body language, the way, the logic and the construction that you teach English are all fantastic. You are the best English teacher I ever met. Thank you for your hardwork.

Well for where I live, I went to, or we can go to: Day Care These are in Elementary: Pre-K Kindergarten 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade These are in Middle: 6th grade 7th Grade 8th Grade These are in high: 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade Or we can go to: Early College- High School lasses with College classes Then there's: Community College University
In Slovenia we have only: Primary school (9. years) High school - gimnaziun/technical school (4. years) University - specialization in one subject and you become engineer of ('electrotechnic') or diplomated ('psychologist')
In Malaysia it's: Pre-school/Kindergarten: 5-6 years old Primary school starts: Standard 1: 7 years old Standard 2: 8 years old Standard 3: 9 years old Standard 4: 10 years old Standard 5: 11 years old Standard 6: 12 years old Then, you have your _UPSR_ examination. (it's called Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Exam if you attend an international school) After that, secondary school starts: Form 1: 13 years old Form 2: 14 years old Form 3: 15 years old Form 1-3 known as Lower Secondary and students are called juniors. You have _PT3_ examination after Form 3. (Known as Cambridge Secondary Checkpoint in international schools) Upper Secondary starts: Form 4: 16 years old Form 5: 17 years old (Students known as seniors) Then, you have your _SPM_ examination. (known as IGCSE if you go to an international school) SPM is equivalent to a High School Diploma in America and GCSE in UK. After graduating, you can choose the local path, Form 6/STPM, or you can do A-Level(UK) or an Australian or American version. After that it's a university for a bachelor's degree and then you can start a job🤷♂️
Primary School (Call 1 to 4) > High School (Higher Secondary)> University (Bachelor, Master, PhD) This is my school system in India. And it is very simple. There are also colleges available in India for Bachelor degree. But I jumped from High School to University.
thank you for this video ! actually when I searched American school system on YT, i expected to get videos on how American school for classes 1 to 12th was, about the syllabus, when can we choose, exam structure, what's these AP, SAT and such, who is the education board, who runs the school and such but.... thank god i got this video, i got to know how the general structure of American school system works
My middle school in America was 6th through 8th grade. You can drop out of high school legally by 17 (in my state anyway). College students who have been in undergrad for many years are also called Super Seniors.
In Scotland it's quite different, we have primary and Secondary Primary School (ages 4/5-11/12) Primary 1 (P1) Primary 2 (P2) Primary 3 (P3) Primary 4 (P4) Primary 5 (P5) Primary 6 (P6) Primary 7 (P7) Then we go to high school (secondary) - ages 12-18 S1 - ages 12-13 S2 - ages 13-14 S3 - ages 14-15 S4 - ages 15-16 S5 - ages 16-17 S6 - ages 17-18 In S2 we choose 8 subjects for S3&4 and we will be given an exam on the subjects in S4 In S4 we do our first set of exams called National 5's and that just shows us our capability of the subjects that we have just studied for 2 years. Then we narrow our subject choice down to 5 subjects and proceed to 'Highers' which is a more complex/harder version of the subjects we just did the year before Then in S6 it is the same, you narrow it down to 3 subjects which you can do 'advanced Highers' you can only do advanced Highers in a subject if you have done it in higher level
Then we go to university or college, university can give you a better qualification on a subject/ course but depending on what course you do you could be there for 1-5 years or more
British school system explained. The British school system is split into 3 schools and 6 keystages. Primary school: Keystage 0/foundation stage: Nursery (3-4yrs) Reception (4-5yrs) Keystage 1 Year 1 (5-6yrs) Year 2 (6-7yrs) Keystage 2 Year 3 (7-8yrs) Year 4 (8-9yrs) Year 5 (9-10yrs) Year 6 (10-11yrs) Secondary/High school: Keystage 3 Year 7 (11-12yrs) Year 8 (12-13yrs) Year 9 (13-14yrs) Keystage 4 Year 10 (14-15yrs) Year 11(15-16yrs) Sixth form or college: Keystage 5 Junior year (16-17yrs) Senior year (17-18yrs) Plus some people spend 3 or 4 years studying at university. Hope it was helpful

This is the case in India Nusery, Jr.kg, Sr.kg = Age 3-5 1st grade to 4th grade(primary school) = Age 5-9 5th to 10th grade(secondary school) = Age 9-15 11th and 12th grade(Jr.college) = Age 15-18
In Ireland it’s pretty similar to the UK but it’s a bit different: *=optional (average ages) ~Pre-School*~ ~Primary school~ Junior infants (4-5) Senior infants (5-6) 1st class (6-7) 2nd class (7-8) 3rd class (8-9) 4th class (9-10) 5th class (10-11) 6th class (11-12) ~Secondary school~ 1st year (12-13) 2nd year (13-14) 3rd year (14-15) {your junior cert exam} Transition Year* (15-16) {transitioning from junior to senior cycle}(pretty much 4th year) 5th year (16-17) (15-16 without TY) 6th year (17-18) (16-17 without TY) {your leaving cert exam} Then you’re done the required amount of education and can go on to college if you want.
@@Lion10104 in the UK we have to study core subjects (maths, english and science) and we also get to pick 3 or 4 (depends on the school) subjects of our choice like geography or history or a language or something
Our Indian school system is 1. (Nursery-Kg II)- Lower primary 2. (Grade 1-4)- Primary 3. (Grade 5-8)- Middle School 4. (Grade 9-10)- High school 5. (Grade 11-12)- Higher secondary
PinkMarshmalloww In Argentina its something like: Kindergarten (i believe its like from 2 to 4 btw this is optional, and not mandatory) Preschool - 5 yo (from here everything it’s obligatory) Primary school - -first grade -second grade -third grade -forth grade -fifth grade -sixth grade (this is the last year of primary school, except for Buenos Aires) -seventh grade (seventh grade only exists in Buenos Aires, argentina’s capital, for the rest of the country seventh grade doesn’t exist, they directly go to secondary school) Secondary School - -First year -second year -third year (in this year, students must choose an orientation, Technical, Language, informatics, etc ((every school is obligated to at least have two orientation for their students to choose, generally you can choose between a more humanistic orientation and a more technical one)) -forth year -fifth year -sixth year (this year its only mandatory to students that passed directly from sixth grade to first year of secondary school, and in buenos aires, sometimes some technical orientations have an extra year, but you get a degree in this technical speciality. Well after secondary school you can opte to go to college thats basically the same. Also you can choose to go to the professorate ( i thinks its said like that in english, but its basically a college for teachers and professors (because they don’t actually count as university careers idk why lol) and another option its the terciario (that is something similar than university but i think its a little less complex than an actual degree. Yeah now that i think about it its kinda weird lol, but basically you have primary, secondary, and then different “colleges” options.

Britain's system: 3 years old: preschool 4 years old: reception 5: year 1 6: year 2 7. Year 3 .... 11. Year 6 Then your go into secondary school where you go through years 7-11 and finish year 11 at 16 years old. Then you can either get an apprenticeship or continue education. Now you either go through sixth form or college (although they are basically the same) with years 12 and 13, finishing at 18 years old. After this you can go to university for 2-5 years depending on your course (although it seems most spend 3-4).
We are new in US and my daughter is HS sophomore. I wish to have a better understanding about how grades, GPA and all the options that she can chose to have. We are from brazil and over there we cannot choose what we want to study while in High school. So I am a little confused about it. Also I see that there is some classes that see can use for the college too. What does that mean?
GREAT question--I will do my best to answer this in the very near future--I may do it on a podcast--I hope you follow me on Twitter (coachshane). After a few weeks, if you don't hear an answer, leave me a message okay?
in england (where im from anyway) its: nursery (3-4) primary: reception (4-5) year 1 (5-6) year 2 (6-7) year 3 (7-8) year 4 (8-9) year 5 (9-10) year 6 (10-11) secondary: year 7 (11-12) year 8 (12-13) year 9 (13-14) year 10 (14-15) year 11 (15-16) sixth form/college: year 12 (16-17) year 13 (17-18) and then uni: 18+
SO CONFUSING! In the uk u start nursery (kindergarten) when u are like 2-3 1/2 and then it's primary til ur 11 then it's high school til ur 16 then college (college can go on for different times depending on what you want to do)
Isn't it called secondary not high school. You go sixth form/college after secondary then can start applying to unis or just go into apprenticeship straight after secondary.
Malaysian system: Primary School ( 7 - 12 years old ) Year 1 - 6 We have a major exam called Primary School Assessment Exam and we'll get a certificate that'll be used for High School. High School: ( 13 - 17 years old ) 1st - 3rd Form We have 3rd Form Assessment that can be used to enroll to boarding schools or technical colleges. 4th - 5th Form If you chose to continue at the same high school, you will have only one major exam. Students will graduate with Malaysian Education Certificate. It's almost the same I think?
Belgium: Primary: Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6(usually graduating at age 12) Secondary: Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6(Usually graduating at age 18) University: depends on what you study. Why can't all the school systems be that simple? XD
University can be split to bachelors and masters as well, the amount of years can vary but most commonly it’s around 2-3 years bachelor and around 2-3 years masters, for a doctors diploma you need 7 years at least I think
In Malaysia we follow the UK system( i think im not sure) Kindergarden: 3 to 6 Primary: 7 to 12 Year 1 Year 2 Year3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Secondary: 13 to 18 Secondary(year you are in) UNIVERSITY r what some call College
the English school system is: nursery (6months - 2 years old) then pre school (3-4 years old) then primary School reception, year one, year two, year four, year five and year six (age 4-10/11) then we have high school year 7, year 8, year 9, year 10 and year 11 (age 11-16) and then we have collage and university which is optional.
LLHT You are talking bullsh*t!! There is no nursery which starts at 2 months old!! You can only start nursery if you are 3 years old. There is 4 Key Stages!!! Key Stage 1 = Year 1 and 2 = Age 5-7. Key Stage 2 (lower) = Year 3 and 4 = Age 7-9. Key Stage 2 (upper) = Year 5 and 6 = Age 10-11. Key Stage 3 = Year 7 , 8 and 9 = Age 11-12 , 12-13 , 13-14. Key Stage 4 = Year 10 , 11 = Age 14-15 , 15-16. Sixth Form = Year 12 , 13 = 16-17 , 17-18. And plus here in England here is no high school! You need to look at the english system!!! And no Junior High as well!! And get a job!!! I'm in Key Stage 3 Year 7. I came to Engand, London at 2013 december. So this is my second and a half year now here in England!!
+Szantos Barbara well clearly you live in a different part of England than me because that is how ive always know it! Dont be so disrespectfull gosh!!! some people...
+Szantos Barbara oh and by the way I didn't say that nursery stars at 2 months I said six months! So get your facts right before trying to other people's facts right!!!
Please can someone explain semesters to me. When do they start, how many there are etc. Also, do students pick different subjects per semester to study?
Gosh in New Zealand you start grade 1 when your five .grade 1-6 is primary school, 7-8 middle you’d be 12-13 normally then high school is year 9-13! And you’d still be 18 when you leave but in my case I was put up a year when I was in grade 1 because my birthday is too early in the year so when I finish I’ll be 17 also we can’t drive cars until we’re 18and You can drop out of school once your 16. I’m a year nine if your wondering and I hope this was interesting I guess😊
In India 1-5 is primary, 6-8 is junior high school and 9-12 is senior high school. The preschool is for children between 3-6 and ya it's half day as you said
In Quebec, Canada its very easy: *Primary School:* 1st Grade (5-6 years old) 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th *Secondary School:* 1st (12-13 years old) 2nd 3rd 4th 5th (finish at around 17 years old) Then Choose depending the Job/Salary you're looking for: // *Profesionnal Diploma* (Specific/Normal job) (About 1 - 2 years) - _Great choice if you hate school_ - *$* or // *CEGEP* (about 3 years) - *$$* or // *CEGEP + University* (around 4 to 6 years) - _Good choice if you love school_ - *$$$*

Well I'm irish, and the school system is as follows: (Brackets: Average Age) Preschool (2-4) Primary School: Junior Infants (5) Senior Infants (6) 1st Class (7) 2nd Class (8) 3rd Class 9) 4th Class (10) 5th Class (11) 6th Class (12) Secondary School: 1st Year (13) 2nd Year (14) 3rd Year (15) Transition Year (16 (May be skipped depending on your school)) 5th Year (16/17) 6th Year (17/18) College (18+) Sorry if I got anything wrong but I'm pretty sure that covers it 😁
In Ireland this is how it follows: (Pre-school 3-4 some kids may start at the age of 2 or 5 though.) (Primary school) Junior infants (4-5) Senior infants (5-6) 1st class (6-7) 2nd class (7-8) 3rd class (8-9) 4th class (9-10) 5th class (10-11) 6th class (11-12) (Secondary School) 1st year (12-13) 2nd year (13-14) 3rd year (14-15) 4th year or transition year (15-16) 5th year (16-17) 6th year (17-18) Then college/university from usually 18+ but this is optional !! Also the ages on this list are average and some kids may be a year above and below. For example my big brother started pre-school at 2 years old but most kids start at 3 or 4. Just to clarify 😊
Thank you so much for your help! Wish you had talked a little bit more about majors and minors because this is still confusing for me but this system is kinda similar to the brazilian one. Thanks!
In Lithuania: Education required by law from 7 until 16 years old. Daycare/Kindergarten (optional) from few months old until 7 years old. Preschool (optional) 6 years old. Elementary school (from grade 1 to 4) 7 to 11 years old. Middle school (from grade 5-8) 11 to 15 years old. High school (from grade 9-12) 15-19 years old. Optional from either 9th or 10th grades you can go to a polytechnic school to train to become a factory employee, mostly criminals and mentally sick go there.
Thank you for your brief and clear explanation, Sir :D In my country, Indonesia, we have senior high school and vocational high school. Both are in the same age range. The difference between them is that the students of vocational high school are prepared to be an enterpreneur or to work in any kind of job based on their specific skill. What about "vocational high school" in America?
dwi purwaningsih this can happen is different ways here in the United States because there are ways you can do this in highschool (9-12) or in university as well. Most high schools have some form of electives that you can take in order to find things that interest you. For example this can include wood shop class where you learn how to build thing in a wood shop, astronomy classes, business entrepreneur classes, and whatever else your school offered as it varies from school to school ( I know a school that teaches you how to scuba dive). However that is also what most people go to university to do becuase that is where you take courses that are way more specialized and focused around learning about a specific area of interest and industry. After usually about 4 years people get their undergraduate degree whatever field and they can go further and study for a few more years and get masters degrees.
On Brazil, it’s quite complex. It works this way: Kindergarten: “Jardim 1 and Jardim 2” or -2th grade and -1th grade. Elementary school: “Ensino Fundamental 1” or from the 1st to the 5th grade. Middle school: “Ensino Fundamental 2” or from 6th to the 9th grade. High school: “Ensino Médio” or from the 10th grade to the 14th grade.
The city or community college how we call it where I’m from, is not necessary, a lot of people who do go to college/university just go to a four year school like Harvard, university of Illinois, Stanford, and other schools like that. Some people decide to get basic required classes out of the way at a two year school like and English, foreign language, math, science, or any other classes that aren’t as specific. Then once they complete those they can go study and focus on more specifics areas.
@@stephennagy4017 Can one get a graduation degree from city/Technical/community college? Can one pursue Masters program from Grad school just after city college (without going to university college 4 year graduation program)?
in Ireland you go to primary school for 8 years (junior infants, senior infants, 1st class, 2nd class, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th) After that, you got to secondary school, for 6 years (1st year, 2nd year, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). In 3rd year and 6th year we have big exams
Kindergarten is 5-6 1st grade 6-7 2nd grade 7-8 3rd grade 8-9 4th grade 9-10 5th grade (Intermediant School) 10-11 6th grade (Intermediant School) 11-12 7th grade (Middle School) 12-13 8th grade (Middle School) 13-14 9th grade (Freshmen, HS) 14-15 (most students get a permit it drive with a 21+ driver present!) 10th grade (Sophomore, HS) 15-16 (most kids get a car and drive to school and places since you can drive alone at 16 when you get a license!) 11th grade (Junior, HS) 16-17 (The most stressful year for students!) 12th grade (Senior, HS) 17-18 (18 is a adult here! And most kids relax this year and enjoy their last year!) Typically Freshmen-Seniors are in the same school, and new students come and leave each year! But it isn’t too horrible because we have many options to pick from in languages, arts, music, literature, college life, ect. Like painting or sculpting, or marching band or choir! Or French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Ect. For language and cooking classes and how to survive college Ect. It isn’t the best but it isn’t the worse either! Hope this helped!

In Italy we have •Kindergarten: ages 3-5 (Some people start at the age of 1) •Primary school -1th= 6 years old -2th=7 -3th=8 -4th=9 -5th=10 •First grade of Secondary School -1th=11 -2th=12 -3th=13 (at this year people have an exam) •Second grade of Secondary School 1th=14 2th=15 3th=16 4th=17 5th=18 (and we have exams to get the certificate of secondary school; in certain schools you can start to work with this certificate) •University (there isn’t a specific duration, it depends on what you’re studying but usually around 4-5 years and after them you get a degree) If you want to, after university you can get a sort of specialisation
this helped me alot because I live in the Netherlands and I wanted to know how the school system works in America. And I can tell you there is a whole difference.
Where i'm from it's easier. You start in school at 6 years old in 0th grade. School is 0-9th grade, if you fail your finale exam, you also get a 10th grade. Then (i think) After your exam you can choose between having: Language, Math or Trade school. Here you spend 3 years. Depending on which school you choose, you can now choose between 'special' schools. Here you need to spend a couple more years, and then you are ready for a job. (idk what the schools are called in English)
MlgMelon that's how it works in Britain technically. Year 6 in Britain is equivalent with grade 7 in America in terms of age and we have that in primary
Primary: Reception. Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Year6 Secondary Year7 Year8 Year9 Year10 Year11 Year12 Year13 University: 1st Year 2nd Year 3rd Year Key Stage 1: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Key Stage 2: Year 3, Year 4, year 5 and year 6 Key stage 3: Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Key stage 4: Year 10 Year 11 Sixth form Year 12 Year 13 (optional) can do apprenticeship or college University ( optional) 1 2 and 3 MASTERS ( optional ) Hope that sums British school up for you it only gets complicated when you get to sixth form because there are lots of different options afterr that point.
This is so confusing for me in Britain. See in britain we heve: primary school, reception to year six which looks like R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Then you have high school starting at year seven to year eleven 7 8 9 10 11 Then you have college years twelve and thirteen 12 13 And you stay in high school till the age of 18. In england, high school you leave at the age of 16. Plus we begin pre school (kindergarten) at the age of 3 and end at 4 you start primary school at the age of 4-5
Depending which state and district you can have Elementary school which is : Kindergarden-5th grade. Middle school:6th-8th grade and Highschool :9th-12th grade. University is optional but it's very helpful to have a college degree to get a good paying job. 2 year at college is an associate degree. 4 years is a bachelor(which is what most people get) 6 years is a masters And anymore than 6+ is a doctorate degree.(M.D,Ph.D,ect.)
in south Africa our learners' primary schooling consists of grade 1-3 (foundation phase), grade 4-6 (intermediate phase) and grade 7 (senior phase). Then at our high schools we have grades 8 to matric (grade 12). We don't use the "titles" you use for your learners. At university (teriary education) (depending on the programme, e.g. degree) you spend 4 years learning specific to your degree, etc. College courses are (also teriary education) slightly different and vary amongst themselves. if you would, in your next video, please explain what "honours-roll" is and some thoughts into why high school learners in USA graduate. Graduation ceremonies in South Africa is only reserved for students who have completed university or college programmes successfully.
The honor roll is for students who have gotten As and Bs in all their subjects - including music, art, and physical education. The distinguished or high honor roll is for students who have gotten As in their academic subjects and no grade below a B in their non-academic ones.
Belgium: kindergarten: 2,5-6 years old primary school: 7-12 years old secondary school: 13-18 years old then: university or what we call high school, but that's just university but a bit more easy, the amount of years you study depends on what you study
In New Zealand, it's: Preschool: 2-4 year olds Early years: Year 1-(5-6) Year 2-(6-7) Primary School: Year 3-(7-8) Year 4-(8-9) Year 5-(9-10) Year 6-(10-11) Intermediate: Year 7-(11-12) Year 8-(12-13) High school: Year 9-(13-14) Year 10-(14-15) Year 11-(15-16) Year 12-(16-17) Year 13-(17-18) After that you start university.
In the Netherlands Basisschool Year 1 (4-5) Year 2 (5-6) Year 3 (6-7) Year 4 (7-8) Year 5 (8-9) Year 6 (9-10) Year 7 (10-11) Year 8 (11-12) "High school" middelbare school From here on you start again at 1 Year 1 (12-13) Year 2 (13-14) Year 3 (14-15) Year 4 (15-16) MBO (Year 5 (16-17) HBO (Year 6 (17-18) University
Though I understand it and I know the years, for me it doesn't makes sense. Here in Sweden our system is like this: Kindergarden: age 1 to 6 at age 6 you start Primary/Elementary school (1st grade) Primary/Elementary shool: (it's just 1st to 9th grade, but you can divide it if you want to) 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade is: low stage 4th, 5th and 6th grade is: middle stage 7th, 8th and 9th grade is: high stage High School: 1st, 2nd and 3rd year (after 3rd year you graduate at age 18/19) You can get your drivers license at age 18 College/University year 1 to 5 (depending on the course, some courses are only 2 years, some are 3 years, some are 4 and some are 5) after that you get you degree. College/University is optional.
In Germany it is just Kindergarten (age 3 or 4 - 5 or 6) elementry school (grade 1-4) and ''high'' school (grade 5-12 or 13 it depends on what kind of school you go to)
Uk Nursery Reception Primary: Year 1 - year 6 Secondary: Year 7 - year 11 leave at 16 College for 2-3 years but we don’t live there like in dorms or anything that’s university which is after college I always got confused when watching vlogs of people moving to college
In Germany you go to "Kindergarten" when you are about 3 years old. After that you go to the "Grundschule" for 4 years (age 6-10) and then you have to choose between 3 types of schools: Hauptschule (9 years), Realsschule (10 years) and Gymnasium (13 years). This depends on how good you are.
Here in Philippines we have a very simple School System : Elementary : 1 - 6th Grade Junior High : 7 - 10th Grade Senior High : 11 - 12th Grade College ---------
I'm from Guatemala and the system is: Preschool: Nursery (2-3) Prekinder 1 (3-4) Prekinder 2 (4-5) Kinder (5-6) Preparatory (6-7) Elemtary: 1st grade (7-8) 2nd grade (8-9) 3rd grade (9-10) 4th grade (10-11) 5th grade (11-12) 6th grade (12-13) High School: 7th grade (13-14) 8th grade (14-15) 9th grade (15-16) College: Depending what you choose to study there are: Bachelor's degree: 10th grade (16-17) 11th grade (17-18) Others degrees: 10th grade (16-17) 11th grade (17-18) 12th grade (18-19) University: It varies a lot depending what do you want to study.
in the philippines, we have nursery (3-4 year olds) pre-kindergarten kindergarten ELEMENTARY: gr. 1,2,3,4,5,6 HIGH SCHOOL: 7,8,9,10,11,12 then college.
Quick explanation of uk schooling: in its utterly basics form Primary school - you leave in year 6 (eleven yrs) - you take ‘SAT’ exams in literacy and numeracy - these dictate your target grades for the end of secondary school Secondary school - you take most subjects that they offer for the first half - by yr nine (14 yrs) you pick your subjects - you HAVE to take maths, english, and science - you can usually pick up to 3 more but the limit varies from school to school - at yr 11 (16yrs) you take REAL exams called GCSES. - every other exam usually doesn’t count for anything, and Is a mock. We don’t take exams that count for anything every year - we are not allowed any cheat sheets in the exam - they are NOT just multiple choice questions - they are graded from 1-9 (9 being highest)
in my small homecountry, the Netherlands: *kindergarden/peuterspeelzaal* (2-4) atleast, that’s how long I went. *elementary school/ basisschool* “groep 1” (4-5) “groep 2” (5-6) “groep 3” (6-7) “groep 4” (7-8) “groep 5” (8-9) “groep 6” (9-10) “groep 7” (10-11) “groep 8” (11-12) “group” means “group” as you MAY have guessed and we litteraly call our elementary years “group 1 (to) 8” *high school/middelbare school* “1ste jaar” (12-13) “2de jaar” (13-14) “3de jaar” (14-15) “4de jaar” (15-16) we have special levels of learning so like when the higher level of learning is too hard for you, you go to a lower level. some really high levels have more highschool years: “5de jaar” (16-17) “6de jaar” (17-18) “jaar” means “year” and after that, you go do some university shat or/and study your job of what KIND of job you’re going for. like for example: nursery, sport, etc. I’m not pro at knowing this, I’m in “1ste jaar” and nobody really tells me a lot about what happens after high school. you’ll probably be like (20-23) when you’re really done with studying your job if you’re not working at like Mcdonalds and REALLY studying.
In Vietnam, we have primary ( from class 1 to 5 ) ; secondary ( from class 6 to 9 ) ; Highschool ( from class 10 to 12 ) and unniversity. We go to primary school when WE ARE 6 YEARS OLD

i would finish there so quickly lmao so cool
that’s england not the whole uk
Lauren Cosgrove , it’s the same in Wales and I presume it’s the same in Scotland too :)
Chill Leaf [AW4KE] it’s not it’s different in scotland
God I just realized how much time we waste in school
Cyphruzzz I feel like you get out of school with grey hairs, debt and wrinkles. Imma just run.
You didn't waste time what would you do all these years without school you're not employable without a degree
pffft tell me about it. Almost my whole life.
It's not wasted if you know what you want to study and pursue it
you learn to learn, to think, to argue, to solve problems, to work in a team, to understand different opinions, to reflect your own opinions, to manage time and Ressources etc.
it s more like the jail system, but you get to study doing your hard time.
I am Venezuelan in here and most of latin América we have this simple system:
day care: 6months - 2years old
preschool : 3-5
primary school: 1st to 6th grade
secondary school: 7th to 12 grade
THAT'S IT
There are variations. In Brazil, 1-9 is primary, and 10-12 in secondary.
Josefina M Yes, but we call it differently!
Andrea, then you have University yes?
Same thing in Argentina, except for Technical schools there's an extra year.
Andrea Perez can u tell me plz age of 14 years students read in which class in America?
that is so confusing! the UK school system is so much easier.
Mason Emoli ikr
Mason Emoli It's because you're not living in the US. It's actually very easy to understand for me because I live through it. I tried to learn about UK's education system and my brain just fell asleep. I had no idea what I was reading. But I think it's all similar in some form.
Tam Vuong yeah it's quite similar, just we have a constant year system, not the grades/ titles America has.
Yeah and their tests are so confusing. Apparantly only 30% of their grade is made up by the actual test.
Mason Emoli UK is so Hard! Also in the usa we say college instead of uni or university. It is the same thing and you have freshmen sophomore junior and senior in college then it's grad school
Indonesia :
Kinder Garden : 2 years
Primary school : 6 years (minimal 6 yo)
Junior High : 3 years
Senior High : 3 years
Bachelor Degree : 4 years
Master Degree : 2 years
Doctoral Degree : 3 years
In Germany its primary school from 1-4 grade and high school from 5-12 😝
Wow!! It's changed now in America...1-5 Grade School!
But we also have 4 different types of high school in germany :/ :(
Mara Jansen echt? Was für welche? Kenne Gymnasium, Real Schule (was das ist, verstehe ich allerdings Nd so ganz) und Hauptschule.
Wow same in India! I think Indian school system come from UK.
Yes
School system in Belgium is a bit easier: 6 years of 'lower school' then 6 years of 'highschool', you graduate highschool when 18y old and then can choose to go to college or universities (or start to work) :)
That's also like the Australian school system as well except we have kindergarten before lower school, which we call primary school
Same in Argentina!! Really we have 7 years for Primary Level and 5 years for Secondary Level.
@@JamesJones-cm6vi In belgium we also got kindergarten, it is like the 3 year before lower school.
Meanwhile in Serbia:
- Before the age of 6-7 there is a KINDERGARTEN. It's not compulsory and it's not available everywhere (especially in rural areas). Usually kids with both parents working go to kindergarten.
- ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is compulsory and it's divided in two parts:
1. Grades 1-4 (kids age 6-7 to 10-11) where you have one teacher for all the school subjects
2. Grades 5-8 (kids age 11-12 to 14-15) where you have different teachers for every subject.
- HIGH SCHOOL is not compulsory, but more than 90% of kids continue their education in high school. It lasts 3 or 4 years (kids age 15-16 to 18-19). There are different types of high schools:
1. Gymnasium (4 years) - Offers advanced secondary education and kids who go there usually plan to go to college afterwards.
2. Specialized HS (4 years) - Learning for a specific jobs like nurse, physical therapist, chef, finance/economic technician...
3. Specialized HS (3 years) - Learning to become auto mechanic, hairdresser, cook, ceramist, waiter...
- COLLEGE: You can enroll in college if you finished 4 years of HS and passed the entrance exam. Most of them last 4 years, some of them 3 years, and some even 6 years (medicine). Some students don't pay the tuition but some of them do (depending on their performance).
- After college, you can continue your education and get MASTER'S DEGREE or PhD.
Hope i explained that well. Personally, i didn't go to kindergarten, wen't to gymnasium after elementary school and I'm currently studying software engineering at University of Belgrade (3rd year) : )

and get a job....
and get money.....
that's it
but however if you fail a year you need to redo that and some go to kindergarten at an age of 5 instead of 4... but these are my ages

Well for where I live, I went to, or we can go to:
Day Care
These are in Elementary:
Pre-K
Kindergarten
1st Grade
2nd Grade
3rd Grade

5th Grade
These are in Middle:
6th grade
7th Grade
8th Grade
These are in high:
9th Grade
10th Grade
11th Grade
12th Grade
Or we can go to:
Early College- High School lasses with College classes
Then there's:
Community College
University
so when americans say that they can't pay the college fees they are actually talking about university
shit that makes sense now
In Slovenia we have only:
Primary school (9. years)
High school - gimnaziun/technical school (4. years)
University - specialization in one subject and you become engineer of ('electrotechnic') or diplomated ('psychologist')
We've got it pretty similar in Slovakia too
Same in Czechia
In Malaysia it's:
Pre-school/Kindergarten: 5-6 years old
Primary school starts:
Standard 1: 7 years old
Standard 2: 8 years old
Standard 3: 9 years old
Standard 4: 10 years old
Standard 5: 11 years old
Standard 6: 12 years old
Then, you have your _UPSR_ examination. (it's called Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Exam if you attend an international school)
After that, secondary school starts:
Form 1: 13 years old
Form 2: 14 years old
Form 3: 15 years old
Form 1-3 known as Lower Secondary and students are called juniors.
You have _PT3_ examination after Form 3. (Known as Cambridge Secondary Checkpoint in international schools)
Upper Secondary starts:
Form 4: 16 years old
Form 5: 17 years old
(Students known as seniors)
Then, you have your _SPM_ examination. (known as IGCSE if you go to an international school)
SPM is equivalent to a High School Diploma in America and GCSE in UK.
After graduating, you can choose the local path, Form 6/STPM, or you can do A-Level(UK) or an Australian or American version.
After that it's a university for a bachelor's degree and then you can start a job🤷♂️
Primary School (Call 1 to 4) > High School (Higher Secondary)> University (Bachelor, Master, PhD)
This is my school system in India. And it is very simple.
There are also colleges available in India for Bachelor degree. But I jumped from High School to University.
thank you for this video ! actually when I searched American school system on YT, i expected to get videos on how American school for classes 1 to 12th was, about the syllabus, when can we choose, exam structure, what's these AP, SAT and such, who is the education board, who runs the school and such but....
thank god i got this video, i got to know how the general structure of American school system works
now i am 19 yrs
My middle school in America was 6th through 8th grade. You can drop out of high school legally by 17 (in my state anyway). College students who have been in undergrad for many years are also called Super Seniors.
I love in Moldova
I am in university right now and we have to tell about how American school works
Thank you so much! This was so helpful
In Scotland it's quite different, we have primary and Secondary
Primary School (ages 4/5-11/12)
Primary 1 (P1)
Primary 2 (P2)
Primary 3 (P3)
Primary 4 (P4)
Primary 5 (P5)
Primary 6 (P6)
Primary 7 (P7)
Then we go to high school (secondary) - ages 12-18
S1 - ages 12-13
S2 - ages 13-14
S3 - ages 14-15
S4 - ages 15-16
S5 - ages 16-17
S6 - ages 17-18
In S2 we choose 8 subjects for S3&4 and we will be given an exam on the subjects in S4
In S4 we do our first set of exams called National 5's and that just shows us our capability of the subjects that we have just studied for 2 years.
Then we narrow our subject choice down to 5 subjects and proceed to 'Highers' which is a more complex/harder version of the subjects we just did the year before
Then in S6 it is the same, you narrow it down to 3 subjects which you can do 'advanced Highers' you can only do advanced Highers in a subject if you have done it in higher level
Then we go to university or college, university can give you a better qualification on a subject/ course but depending on what course you do you could be there for 1-5 years or more
hoLy shit.... i Lost the command.

-sixth year (this year its only mandatory to students that passed directly from sixth grade to first year of secondary school, and in buenos aires, sometimes some technical orientations have an extra year, but you get a degree in this technical speciality.
Well after secondary school you can opte to go to college thats basically the same. Also you can choose to go to the professorate ( i thinks its said like that in english, but its basically a college for teachers and professors (because they don’t actually count as university careers idk why lol) and another option its the terciario (that is something similar than university but i think its a little less complex than an actual degree. Yeah now that i think about it its kinda weird lol, but basically you have primary, secondary, and then different “colleges” options.
He didn’t explain the school system he explained the whole life experience
Very great

I'm born in March 2006 , can you guess which year group and Key Stage I am in??
Britain's system:
3 years old: preschool
4 years old: reception
5: year 1
6: year 2
7. Year 3
....
11. Year 6
Then your go into secondary school where you go through years 7-11 and finish year 11 at 16 years old.
Then you can either get an apprenticeship or continue education.
Now you either go through sixth form or college (although they are basically the same) with years 12 and 13, finishing at 18 years old. After this you can go to university for 2-5 years depending on your course (although it seems most spend 3-4).
We are new in US and my daughter is HS sophomore. I wish to have a better understanding about how grades, GPA and all the options that she can chose to have. We are from brazil and over there we cannot choose what we want to study while in High school. So I am a little confused about it.
Also I see that there is some classes that see can use for the college too. What does that mean?
GREAT question--I will do my best to answer this in the very near future--I may do it on a podcast--I hope you follow me on Twitter (coachshane). After a few weeks, if you don't hear an answer, leave me a message okay?
QUICK ANSWER: "college-track" courses are designed for kids who will want to attend a university. The courses are a bit more difficult, but necessary.
in england (where im from anyway) its:
nursery (3-4)
primary:
reception (4-5)
year 1 (5-6)
year 2 (6-7)
year 3 (7-8)
year 4 (8-9)
year 5 (9-10)
year 6 (10-11)
secondary:
year 7 (11-12)
year 8 (12-13)
year 9 (13-14)
year 10 (14-15)
year 11 (15-16)
sixth form/college:
year 12 (16-17)
year 13 (17-18)
and then uni: 18+
Well explained!
SO CONFUSING! In the uk u start nursery (kindergarten) when u are like 2-3 1/2 and then it's primary til ur 11 then it's high school til ur 16 then college (college can go on for different times depending on what you want to do)
More like in the netherlands but like not really 😂
Isn't it called secondary not high school. You go sixth form/college after secondary then can start applying to unis or just go into apprenticeship straight after secondary.
Malaysian system:
Primary School ( 7 - 12 years old )
Year 1 - 6
We have a major exam called Primary School Assessment Exam and we'll get a certificate that'll be used for High School.
High School: ( 13 - 17 years old )
1st - 3rd Form
We have 3rd Form Assessment that can be used to enroll to boarding schools or technical colleges.
4th - 5th Form
If you chose to continue at the same high school, you will have only one major exam. Students will graduate with Malaysian Education Certificate.
It's almost the same I think?
Belgium:
Primary: Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6(usually graduating at age 12)
Secondary: Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6(Usually graduating at age 18)
University: depends on what you study.
Why can't all the school systems be that simple? XD
because they think we will be smarter if we go more years in the school
University can be split to bachelors and masters as well, the amount of years can vary but most commonly it’s around 2-3 years bachelor and around 2-3 years masters, for a doctors diploma you need 7 years at least I think
I knew a little about American school system but wow didn't know it was this complicated crazy.
Whys it so complicated😂in Scotland where I live it's primary school, then secondary school
Yeah...my country also has only primary and secondary for the compulsory.
In Malaysia we follow the UK system( i think im not sure)
Kindergarden: 3 to 6
Primary: 7 to 12
Year 1
Year 2
Year3
Year 4
Year 5
Year 6
Secondary: 13 to 18
Secondary(year you are in)
UNIVERSITY r what some call College
the English school system is: nursery (6months - 2 years old) then pre school (3-4 years old) then primary School reception, year one, year two, year four, year five and year six (age 4-10/11) then we have high school year 7, year 8, year 9, year 10 and year 11 (age 11-16) and then we have collage and university which is optional.
LLHT You are talking bullsh*t!! There is no nursery which starts at 2 months old!! You can only start nursery if you are 3 years old. There is 4 Key Stages!!!
Key Stage 1 = Year 1 and 2 = Age 5-7.
Key Stage 2 (lower) = Year 3 and 4 = Age 7-9.
Key Stage 2 (upper) = Year 5 and 6 = Age 10-11.
Key Stage 3 = Year 7 , 8 and 9 = Age 11-12 , 12-13 , 13-14.
Key Stage 4 = Year 10 , 11 = Age 14-15 , 15-16.
Sixth Form = Year 12 , 13 = 16-17 , 17-18.
And plus here in England here is no high school! You need to look at the english system!!! And no Junior High as well!!
And get a job!!!
I'm in Key Stage 3 Year 7. I came to Engand, London at 2013 december. So this is my second and a half year now here in England!!
+Szantos Barbara well clearly you live in a different part of England than me because that is how ive always know it! Dont be so disrespectfull gosh!!! some people...
+beautyxbyxlibby Thankyou. thats how ive always known it too :)
+Szantos Barbara oh and by the way I didn't say that nursery stars at 2 months I said six months! So get your facts right before trying to other people's facts right!!!
+LLHT your welcome :) and LOL
Here in indonesia 🇮🇩 :
Primary (1st grade - 6th grade)
Junior high (7th grade - 9th grade)
High school (10th grade - 12th grade)
Please can someone explain semesters to me. When do they start, how many there are etc. Also, do students pick different subjects per semester to study?
Everywhere else is so complicated. In Aus its just,
Primary school:
Pre-primary - Yr 6
High school:
Yr 7 - Yr 12
University.
Gosh in New Zealand you start grade 1 when your five .grade 1-6 is primary school, 7-8 middle you’d be 12-13 normally then high school is year 9-13! And you’d still be 18 when you leave but in my case I was put up a year when I was in grade 1 because my birthday is too early in the year so when I finish I’ll be 17 also we can’t drive cars until we’re 18and You can drop out of school once your 16. I’m a year nine if your wondering and I hope this was interesting I guess😊
Education in New Zealand starts from a young age !

Chose University or high school
USA starts school like 5 years after uk. (Preschool/playgroup starts at 2 then primary starts at 4 then secondary starts at 11 and ends at 18.
are you stupid? USA has preschools too , they just aren't considered part of the school system because they are toddlers
In India 1-5 is primary, 6-8 is junior high school and 9-12 is senior high school. The preschool is for children between 3-6 and ya it's half day as you said
haha,,,great introduction of the U.S. school system....now i've got a clear picture about it...perfect thanks...
In Quebec, Canada its very easy:

or
// *CEGEP* (about 3 years) - *$$*

What?!?
The Irish system is great but I don't like the new grading system
The Netherlands:
Basisschool (mandatory):
8 years for 4-12 year olds
Middelbare school (mandatory):
4, 5 or 6 years for 12-16/17/18 year olds depending on the level you choose. vmbo = 4 years, havo = 5 years, vwo = 6 years. (vwo is the most difficult)
Hogere beroepsopleiding (not mandatory):
MBO (after vmbo), HBO (after havo) or Universiteit (after vwo)
Well I'm irish, and the school system is as follows: (Brackets: Average Age)
Preschool (2-4)
Primary School:
Junior Infants (5)
Senior Infants (6)
1st Class (7)
2nd Class (8)
3rd Class 9)
4th Class (10)
5th Class (11)
6th Class (12)
Secondary School:
1st Year (13)
2nd Year (14)
3rd Year (15)
Transition Year (16 (May be skipped depending on your school))
5th Year (16/17)
6th Year (17/18)
College (18+)
Sorry if I got anything wrong but I'm pretty sure that covers it 😁
In Ireland this is how it follows:
(Pre-school 3-4 some kids may start at the age of 2 or 5 though.)
(Primary school)
Junior infants (4-5)
Senior infants (5-6)
1st class (6-7)
2nd class (7-8)
3rd class (8-9)
4th class (9-10)
5th class (10-11)
6th class (11-12)
(Secondary School)
1st year (12-13)
2nd year (13-14)
3rd year (14-15)
4th year or transition year (15-16)
5th year (16-17)
6th year (17-18)
Then college/university from usually 18+ but this is optional !! Also the ages on this list are average and some kids may be a year above and below. For example my big brother started pre-school at 2 years old but most kids start at 3 or 4. Just to clarify 😊
Thank you so much for your help! Wish you had talked a little bit more about majors and minors because this is still confusing for me but this system is kinda similar to the brazilian one. Thanks!
In Lithuania:
Education required by law from 7 until 16 years old.
Daycare/Kindergarten (optional) from few months old until 7 years old.
Preschool (optional) 6 years old.
Elementary school (from grade 1 to 4) 7 to 11 years old.
Middle school (from grade 5-8) 11 to 15 years old.
High school (from grade 9-12) 15-19 years old.
Optional from either 9th or 10th grades you can go to a polytechnic school to train to become a factory employee, mostly criminals and mentally sick go there.
Thank you for your brief and clear explanation, Sir :D In my country, Indonesia, we have senior high school and vocational high school. Both are in the same age range. The difference between them is that the students of vocational high school are prepared to be an enterpreneur or to work in any kind of job based on their specific skill. What about "vocational high school" in America?
dwi purwaningsih this can happen is different ways here in the United States because there are ways you can do this in highschool (9-12) or in university as well. Most high schools have some form of electives that you can take in order to find things that interest you. For example this can include wood shop class where you learn how to build thing in a wood shop, astronomy classes, business entrepreneur classes, and whatever else your school offered as it varies from school to school ( I know a school that teaches you how to scuba dive). However that is also what most people go to university to do becuase that is where you take courses that are way more specialized and focused around learning about a specific area of interest and industry. After usually about 4 years people get their undergraduate degree whatever field and they can go further and study for a few more years and get masters degrees.
On Brazil, it’s quite complex. It works this way:
Kindergarten: “Jardim 1 and Jardim 2” or -2th grade and -1th grade.
Elementary school: “Ensino Fundamental 1” or from the 1st to the 5th grade.
Middle school: “Ensino Fundamental 2” or from 6th to the 9th grade.
High school: “Ensino Médio” or from the 10th grade to the 14th grade.
Great explination 1 question
can you go from high school to university without finishing your city college ?
The city or community college how we call it where I’m from, is not necessary, a lot of people who do go to college/university just go to a four year school like Harvard, university of Illinois, Stanford, and other schools like that. Some people decide to get basic required classes out of the way at a two year school like and English, foreign language, math, science, or any other classes that aren’t as specific. Then once they complete those they can go study and focus on more specifics areas.
@@stephennagy4017 Can one get a graduation degree from city/Technical/community college? Can one pursue Masters program from Grad school just after city college (without going to university college 4 year graduation program)?
in Ireland you go to primary school for 8 years (junior infants, senior infants, 1st class, 2nd class, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th)
After that, you got to secondary school, for 6 years (1st year, 2nd year, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). In 3rd year and 6th year we have big exams
Shane, what's the difference between "fee", "salary", "wage" and "a pay" in USA?

What are the age's of the children in each class ? Im from the Netherlands and i'd would like to know 👍🏼
+xIproJoltGamez Raven The ages are the same unless a student was held back a year for failing or a student skipped a year ahead.
+SimSweetiePie alright thank you :)

9th grade (Freshmen, HS) 14-15 (most students get a permit it drive with a 21+ driver present!)
10th grade (Sophomore, HS) 15-16 (most kids get a car and drive to school and places since you can drive alone at 16 when you get a license!)
11th grade (Junior, HS) 16-17 (The most stressful year for students!)
12th grade (Senior, HS) 17-18 (18 is a adult here! And most kids relax this year and enjoy their last year!)
Typically Freshmen-Seniors are in the same school, and new students come and leave each year! But it isn’t too horrible because we have many options to pick from in languages, arts, music, literature, college life, ect. Like painting or sculpting, or marching band or choir! Or French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Ect. For language and cooking classes and how to survive college Ect. It isn’t the best but it isn’t the worse either!
Hope this helped!

In czech republic (czechia) we have it much easier, elementary school 1 - 9, highschool 10 - 14 and college depends on the school
In Italy we have
•Kindergarten: ages 3-5
(Some people start at the age of 1)
•Primary school
-1th= 6 years old
-2th=7
-3th=8
-4th=9
-5th=10
•First grade of Secondary School
-1th=11
-2th=12
-3th=13 (at this year people have an exam)
•Second grade of Secondary School
1th=14
2th=15
3th=16
4th=17
5th=18 (and we have exams to get the certificate of secondary school; in certain schools you can start to work with this certificate)
•University (there isn’t a specific duration, it depends on what you’re studying but usually around 4-5 years and after them you get a degree)
If you want to, after university you can get a sort of specialisation

"UK education system is too confusing :-("
Ireland School System:
(If anyone is interested)
Play-School/Pre-School: 3 or 4 yrs old.
Primary School:
Junior Infants: 4 or 5 yrs old.
Senior Infants: 6 yrs old.
1st Class: 7 yrs old.
2nd Class: 8 yrs old.
3rd Class: 9 yrs old.
4th Class: 10 yrs old.
5th Class: 11 yrs old.
6th Class: 12 yrs old.
And then after 6th Class, you go into Secondary School.
Secondary School:
1st Year: 12 or 13 yrs old.
2nd year: 14 yrs old.
3rd Year/Junior Cert: 15 yrs old.
Transition Year A.K.A TY (you can skip TY if you want to): 16 yrs old.
5th Year: 16 or 17 yrs old.
6th Year/Leaving Cert: 17 or 18 yrs old.
After Secondary School it's College/University.
Wait so College is University? Im confused
this helped me alot because I live in the Netherlands and I wanted to know how the school system works in America. And I can tell you there is a whole difference.
oh man i Lost my system of dawn. i rather enjoy "orange high schooL" on the near by future.
Where i'm from it's easier.
You start in school at 6 years old in 0th grade.
School is 0-9th grade, if you fail your finale exam, you also get a 10th grade.
Then (i think)
After your exam you can choose between having: Language, Math or Trade school.
Here you spend 3 years.
Depending on which school you choose, you can now choose between 'special' schools.
Here you need to spend a couple more years, and then you are ready for a job.
(idk what the schools are called in English)
Here in Norway 7th grade is in elementary school!
MlgMelon :0. Wow
MlgMelon that's how it works in Britain technically. Year 6 in Britain is equivalent with grade 7 in America in terms of age and we have that in primary
MlgMelon In Austria too
@@frodododo no year 6 is equivalent to 5th grade not 7th grade.
Primary:

Key stage 4: Year 10 Year 11
Sixth form Year 12 Year 13 (optional) can do apprenticeship or college
University ( optional) 1 2 and 3
MASTERS ( optional )
Hope that sums British school up for you it only gets complicated when you get to sixth form because there are lots of different options afterr that point.
This is so confusing for me in Britain. See in britain we heve: primary school, reception to year six which looks like
R
1
2
3
4
5
6
Then you have high school starting at year seven to year eleven
7
8
9
10
11
Then you have college years twelve and thirteen
12
13
And you stay in high school till the age of 18. In england, high school you leave at the age of 16. Plus we begin pre school (kindergarten) at the age of 3 and end at 4 you start primary school at the age of 4-5
In the UK.
1-4 Nursery
4-11 Primary (Maybe Academies)
11-16 Secondary (Academies)
16-18 Collage.
18-21 University.
Simple.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but would you call me crazy if I compared Jr High to a Communist Dictatorship?
Depending which state and district you can have Elementary school which is : Kindergarden-5th grade. Middle school:6th-8th grade and Highschool :9th-12th grade. University is optional but it's very helpful to have a college degree to get a good paying job.
2 year at college is an associate degree.
4 years is a bachelor(which is what most people get)
6 years is a masters
And anymore than 6+ is a doctorate degree.(M.D,Ph.D,ect.)
in south Africa our learners' primary schooling consists of grade 1-3 (foundation phase), grade 4-6 (intermediate phase) and grade 7 (senior phase). Then at our high schools we have grades 8 to matric (grade 12). We don't use the "titles" you use for your learners.
At university (teriary education) (depending on the programme, e.g. degree) you spend 4 years learning specific to your degree, etc.
College courses are (also teriary education) slightly different and vary amongst themselves.
if you would, in your next video, please explain what "honours-roll" is and some thoughts into why high school learners in USA graduate.
Graduation ceremonies in South Africa is only reserved for students who have completed university or college programmes successfully.
The honor roll is for students who have gotten As and Bs in all their subjects - including music, art, and physical education. The distinguished or high honor roll is for students who have gotten As in their academic subjects and no grade below a B in their non-academic ones.
Belgium:
kindergarten: 2,5-6 years old
primary school: 7-12 years old
secondary school: 13-18 years old
then: university or what we call high school, but that's just university but a bit more easy, the amount of years you study depends on what you study
In New Zealand, it's:
Preschool:
2-4 year olds
Early years:
Year 1-(5-6)
Year 2-(6-7)
Primary School:
Year 3-(7-8)
Year 4-(8-9)
Year 5-(9-10)
Year 6-(10-11)
Intermediate:
Year 7-(11-12)
Year 8-(12-13)
High school:
Year 9-(13-14)
Year 10-(14-15)
Year 11-(15-16)
Year 12-(16-17)

Though I understand it and I know the years, for me it doesn't makes sense. Here in Sweden our system is like this:
Kindergarden:
age 1 to 6
at age 6 you start Primary/Elementary school (1st grade)
Primary/Elementary shool:
(it's just 1st to 9th grade, but you can divide it if you want to)
1st, 2nd and 3rd grade is: low stage
4th, 5th and 6th grade is: middle stage
7th, 8th and 9th grade is: high stage
High School:
1st, 2nd and 3rd year
(after 3rd year you graduate at age 18/19)
You can get your drivers license at age 18
College/University
year 1 to 5 (depending on the course, some courses are only 2 years, some are 3 years, some are 4 and some are 5)
after that you get you degree.
College/University is optional.
In Germany it is just Kindergarten (age 3 or 4 - 5 or 6) elementry school (grade 1-4) and ''high'' school (grade 5-12 or 13 it depends on what kind of school you go to)
thanks, I am in Australia and I always wanted to know about the American system.
Uk
Nursery
Reception
Primary:
Year 1 - year 6
Secondary:
Year 7 - year 11 leave at 16
College for 2-3 years but we don’t live there like in dorms or anything that’s university which is after college
I always got confused when watching vlogs of people moving to college
In Germany you go to "Kindergarten" when you are about 3 years old. After that you go to the "Grundschule" for 4 years (age 6-10) and then you have to choose between 3 types of schools: Hauptschule (9 years), Realsschule (10 years) and Gymnasium (13 years). This depends on how good you are.
Here in Philippines we have a very simple School System :
Elementary : 1 - 6th Grade

Thank youu, omg, its so confusing cuz my country uses a different system, finally understood all these terms
Quick explanation of uk schooling: in its utterly basics form
Primary school
- you leave in year 6 (eleven yrs)
- you take ‘SAT’ exams in literacy and numeracy
- these dictate your target grades for the end of secondary school
Secondary school
- you take most subjects that they offer for the first half
- by yr nine (14 yrs) you pick your subjects
- you HAVE to take maths, english, and science
- you can usually pick up to 3 more but the limit varies from school to school
- at yr 11 (16yrs) you take REAL exams called GCSES.
- every other exam usually doesn’t count for anything, and Is a mock. We don’t take exams that count for anything every year
- we are not allowed any cheat sheets in the exam
- they are NOT just multiple choice questions
- they are graded from 1-9 (9 being highest)
in my small homecountry, the Netherlands:
*kindergarden/peuterspeelzaal* (2-4) atleast, that’s how long I went.
*elementary school/ basisschool*
“groep 1” (4-5)
“groep 2” (5-6)
“groep 3” (6-7)
“groep 4” (7-8)
“groep 5” (8-9)
“groep 6” (9-10)
“groep 7” (10-11)
“groep 8” (11-12)
“group” means “group” as you MAY have guessed and we litteraly call our elementary years “group 1 (to) 8”
*high school/middelbare school*
“1ste jaar” (12-13)
“2de jaar” (13-14)
“3de jaar” (14-15)
“4de jaar” (15-16)
we have special levels of learning so like when the higher level of learning is too hard for you, you go to a lower level.
some really high levels have more highschool years:
“5de jaar” (16-17)
“6de jaar” (17-18)
“jaar” means “year”
and after that, you go do some university shat or/and study your job of what KIND of job you’re going for.
like for example: nursery, sport, etc.
I’m not pro at knowing this, I’m in “1ste jaar” and nobody really tells me a lot about what happens after high school.
you’ll probably be like (20-23) when you’re really done with studying your job if you’re not working at like Mcdonalds and REALLY studying.
In Vietnam, we have primary ( from class 1 to 5 ) ; secondary ( from class 6 to 9 ) ; Highschool ( from class 10 to 12 ) and unniversity. We go to primary school when WE ARE 6 YEARS OLD
